FOREWORD 

It  was  thought  that  this  was  an  opportune  time,  on  the  eve  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity's Semi-Centennial,  to  publish  a  book,  giving  a  history  of  the  University, 
and  also  showing  what  Cornellians  have  accomplished  in  the  world. 

The  plan  and  scope  of  this  work  includes  a  brief  history  of  the  University; 
an  announcement  of  the  coming  celebration  and  grand  reunion;  biographies 
of  the  founder,  presidents  and  acting  presidents;  a  list  of  distinguished  pro- 
fessors (other  than  Comellians  who  will  be  found  later  in  the  alumni  list,  herein), 
giving  their  chairs,  and  years  of  service  at  Cornell,  and  any  other  important 
position  held,  or  work  done  by  them  either  before  coming  to,  or  after  leaving, 
Cornell;  biographies  of  distinguished  alumni,  arranged  first  by  classes,  com- 
mencing with  that  of  '69,  and  then,  for  a  cross-reference,  by  public  offices,  po- 
sitions, professions  and  occupations  (though  this  arrangement  may  be  reversed) ; 
followed  by  an  alphabetical  index. 

The  basis  of  representation  in  this  work  is  the  ability  to  appear  in  published 
books  of  biography  of  distinguished  Americans. 

There  are  also  included  a  few  who  deserve  recognition  but  have  been  over- 
looked. A  few  have  been  chosen  because  of  their  special  interest  to  Cornellians. 
There  are  but  few  names  from  recent  classes,  say  those  of  the  past  ten  or  fifteen 
years. 

It  is  regretted  that  the  names  of  all  the  alumni  can  not  appear,  but,  as  they 
number  27,000,  it  is  not  possible  in  a  book  of  such  limited  space. 

This  book  is  of  Cornell  and  Cornellians,  for  Cornellians  primarily,  by  a  Cor- 
nellian,  and  may  also  appeal  to  the  general  reading  public.  It  seemed  pre- 
sumptuous for  the  author  to  write  even  a  brief  history  of  Cornell  University, 
after  reading  Professor  W.  T.  Hewitt's  valuable  and  comprehensive  "History" 
in  three  large  volumes,  and  the  valuable  contribution  to  University  history 
found  in  President  White's  fine  literary  production,  "An  Autobiography,"  and 
Alonzo  B.  Cornell's  history  (data  for  the  future  historian  he  calls  it)  of  his  father, 
Ezra  Cornell,  the  founder. 

The  author  felt  some  timidity  in  approaching  the  subject,  particularly  the 
literary  side,  and  stated  his  fears  to  President  White.  "Oh,"  said  he,  "sail  right 
in,  and  give  your  ideas  in  your  own  way,  only  don't  use  big  words  unless  it  be 
necessary."  So,  here  we  sail,  and,  if  we  lose  compass,  rudder,  sails  and  all,  yet 
will.we  cling  to  the  good  old  ship  "Cornell"  till  we  get  through. 

As  the  only  graduate  in  a  regular  undergraduate  course  to  undertake  such 
a  work,  we  may  see  Cornell  affairs  from  a  different  view-point  than  the  other 
writers,  and  we  will  try  to  give  our  impressions  as  briefly  and  tersely  as  possible, 
only  we  feel  put  upon  our  mettle,  to  think  that  a  layman  undertakes  the  work, 
when  there  are  so  many  brilliant  literary  and  historical  writers  at  the  University 
to  undertake  it — but  they  don't.

The  author  hopes  that  he  will  be  pardoned  if  at  times  he  appears  to  use 
large  or  flowery  language,  for  he  can  not  bring  himself  to  speak  in  commonplace 
terms  of  the  great  University  and  its  makers  and  teachers. 

With  these  few  remarks,  we  close,  hoping  that  the  verdict  of  the  readers 
will  not  be  against  the  University  for  anything  that  author  has  either  said  or 
omitted.  Reader,  be  charitable.  "Criticism  is  easy,  art  is  difficult."

GREETINGS  FROM  PRESIDENT  SCHURMAN 

To  Graduates  and  Former  Students  of  Cornell  University: 

Mr.  Murray  Poole  informs  me  that,  as  a  sort  of  contribution  to  the  coming 
Semi-Centennial  of  the  Foundation  of  the  University,  he  is  publishing  a  partial 
list  of  Cornellians,  with  a  classification  of  the  vocations  they  have  followed, 
and  notes  of  the  distinctions  they  have  achieved. 

In  response  to  Mr.  Poole' s  request,  I  gladly  avail  myself  of  this  opportunity 
to  send  friendly  greetings  to  the  men  and  women  who  have  been  enrolled  in 
Cornell  University  during  the  past  forty-seven  years  of  its  existence.  From 
the  studies  they  pursued  here,  and  the  associations  they  formed,  I  am  confident 
they  have  gained  a  larger  and  more  intelligent  outlook  on  the  world,  a  deeper 
inspiration  for  their  work,  and  enhanced  ability  to  perform  it,  while  the  friend- 
ships they  made  in  those  student  days  have  been  among  the  most  precious  pos- 
sessions of  their  lives. 

The  members  of  this  great  family  will  appreciate  and  be  grateful  for  the  nurture 
they  have  received  from  their  Alma  Mater.  And  now  that  she  is  to  celebrate 
in  1918  the  close  of  the  first  half-century  of  her  existence,  they  will  desire  to 
express  their  sentiments  in  such  varied  manner  as  each  may  deem  appropriate. 
I  make  no  suggestions  as  to  the  manner  in  which  Cornellians  may  best  express 
their  feelings  on  this  interesting  and  historical  occasion.  But  I  do  take  this 
opportunity  of  expressing  the  hope  that  all  who  find  it  practicable  will  revisit 
these  scenes  in  October,  1918,  and  once  more  see  their  Alma  Mater  face  to  face.

GREETINGS  FROM  MRS.  GERTRUDE  SHORE  MARTIN 
ADVISER  OF  WOMEN 

Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  February  28,  1916. 
To  Fellow  Alumnae  and  Former  Women  Students: 

Mr.  Poole  has  asked  me,  in  connection  with  his  forthcoming  History  of  the 
University,  to  extend  to  you  a  special  greeting  in  addition  to  the  cordial  words 
of  greeting  and  invitation  already  addressed  to  you  and  your  fellow  alumni 
by  President  Schurman.  Does  the  fact  that  it  should  be  thought  requisite, 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xi 

or  at  least  desirable,  that  a  special  word  should  be  addressed  to  the  alumnae 
imply  a  lingering  sense  of  our  separateness  from  the  rest  of  the  University  ? 
I  have  an  uneasy  suspicion  that  it  does;  that  we  who  regard  ourselves  so  con- 
fidently as  true  daughters  of  Alma  Mater  are  still  looked  upon  by  some  members 
of  the  family  as  changelings,  slipped  into  the  cradle  by  stealth,  and  to  be  ad- 
mitted to  full  membership,  if  at  all,  only  after  prolonged  scrutiny,  and  then  not 
by  right  but  by  an  act  of  grace. 

Sed  tempora  mutantur.  Last  night  I  was  reading  in  the  current  number  of 
the  Alumni  News  extracts  from  letters  written  by  Goldwin  Smith  in  the  very 
early  days  of  the  University.  "I  believe,"  he  wrote,  "I  have  also  done  something 
towards  averting,  for  the  present,  female  students,  a  crotchet  of  Horace  Greeley, 
who  was  driving  us  in  that  direction  apace."  That  was  written  a  trifle  less  than 
fifty  years  ago  by  one  of  the  most  scholarly  and  liberal  minded  men  of  his  time. 
Since  then  co-education  has  become  in  this  country  the  prevalent  form  of  higher 
education  for  women.  Out  of  the  thousands  of  young  women  now  pursuing 
their  studies  in  institutions  of  higher  learning,  it  is  a  constantly  dwindling  mi- 
nority that  find  themselves  in  separate  institutions  for  women.  Horace  Greeley's 
crotchet  has  gotten  itself  accepted  as  a  normal  social  arrangement. 

How  bold  a  step  it  was  that  Cornell  University  took  in  admitting  women 
almost  from  the  beginning  to  equal  privileges  with  men  only  those  can  know 
who  have  read  the  utterances  of  the  period  on  the  subject  of  co-education.  The 
fact  that  this  new  institution,  struggling  for  a  foothold  among  the  old  and  con- 
servative institutions  of  the  East,  nevertheless  had  the  courage  to  adopt  so 
radical  a  policy,  must  always  give  it  a  special  claim  upon  the  affection  and  the 
loyalty  of  its  women.  With  the  approach  of  the  semi-centennial  celebration 
will  come  the  opportunity  for  expression  of  that  loyalty.  I  am  confident  that 
in  the  chorus  of  gratitude  to  Alma  Mater  that  will  be  called  forth  by  that  occa- 
sion the  feminine  note  will  not  be  lacking. 

Faithfully  yours, 

GERTRUDE  S.  MARTIN. 

CORNELL  UNIVERSITY  :  A  STORY  HISTORICAL 

THE  FOUNDING  AND  EARLY  DATS 

Sons  and  daughters  of  fair  Cornell, 
Here's  to  her  we  love  so  well! 

There  is  an  old  saying: 

"Great  oaks  from  little  acorns  grow." 
There  is  another: 

"There  were  giants  in  those  days." 

When  we  remember  that  only  about  fifty  years  ago,  in  the  small  inland 
town  of  Ithaca,  on  a  barren  hill-side  farm,  there  was  founded  an  institution 
of  learning  which  has  become  one  of  the  greatest  in  the  world,  we  can  liken  it 
only  to  a  modern  instance  of  "Aladdin  and  his  wonderful  lamp."  Ezra  Cornell 


xii  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

could  bring  the  young  dreamer  and  afterwards  great  executive,  Andrew  D. 
White,  and  the  latter  could  wave  the  magic  wand  of  scholarship  and  bring  a 
faculty  of  the  most  noted  educators.  The  founder  sank  beside  him,  but  he 
kept  bravely  on. 

The  one  has  left  an  imperishable  name. 

The  other  will  be  awarded  a  high  niche  in  the  Hall  of  Fame. 

It  is  not  our  purpose  to  tell  in  detail  the  early  struggles  and  calumny  under 
which  they  labored,  but  only  to  strew  roses  in  the  way,  as  we  approach  the 
Golden  Age  of  Cornell. 

There  was  a  beginning,  of  course.  The  magnetic  telegraph  flashed  the  money 
to  the  founder,  and  the  kindly  fates  brought  him  face  to  face  with  the  man  who 
could  point  the  way  for  both  to  become  great  benefactors  of  the  human  race. 

Our  Alma  Mater  owes  its  material  existence  to  the  combined  bounty  of  Ezra 
Cornell  and  the  State  of  New  York. 

It  was  chartered  in  1865,  and  opened  its  doors  to  students  in  1868.  President 
White  wished  the  infant  university  located  in  his  home  city,  but  Ezra  Cornell 
chose,  more  wisely,  his  beloved  Ithaca,  where, 

"Far  above  Cayuga's  waters, 

With  its  waves  of  blue, 
Stands  our  noble  Alma  Mater, 
Glorious  to  view." 

— C.  K.  URQUHART  76. 

on  the  most  sightly  and  beautiful  campus  in  the  world. 

No  author  has  ever  yet  been  able  adequately  to  describe,  or  poet  sing,  or 
artist  paint,  the  beautiful  scene  from  its  towers,  with  the  quiet  lake  at  the  north, 
the  busy  city  at  the  west,  and  the  lovely  vale  lying  to  the  south,  with  great 
gorges  within  the  bounds  of  its  campus,  and  down  in  their  depths  grand  and 
beautiful  falls,  where  dwells,  according  to  Indian  legend,  "The  Spirit  of  the  Fall." 

The  7th  day  of  October,  A.D.  1868,  one  of  the  most  glorious  in  the  history 
of  Cornell,  was  set  apart  for  the  formal  public  exercises,  when  its  doors  were 
flung  wide  open  to  the  student  world.  There  were  speeches  by  many  distin- 
guished orators. 

There  were  at  the  opening  nineteen  professors,  four  assistant  professors, 
and  eight  non-resident  professors.  The  last  named  were  a  university  all  by 
themselves. 

Three  hundred  students  applied  for  admission,  some  of  them  from  other 
colleges.  Those  early  students  were  among  the  founders  of  the  University. 

They  came  to  find  Cornell  University,  as  did  the  seekers  after  the  "Golden 
Fleece,"  or  Ponce  De  Leon  after  the  "Fountain  of  Youth.'*  They  thought  that 
they  could  study  and  work  their  way  through — and  many  of  them  did. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xm 

The  other  colleges  regarded  it  as  an  *  'Experiment,"  but  they  were  judging 
the  outward  rather  than  the  inner  man,  for  they  had  earnest  minds  and  were 
diligent  students,  and  willing  workers.  They  met  on  a  democratic  equality. 
The  younger  members  of  the  faculty  received  very  small  salaries  but  worked 
hard  to  make  a  professional  reputation  as  teachers,  to  build  up  the  new  insti- 
tution and  to  start  the  young  men  right  upon  their  way.  However,  they  were 
strangers  to  each  other  and  it  was  many  years  before  they  could  do  good  "Team- 
work." 

A  baseball  club  was  organized  in  the  intervals  between  classes  on  the  first 
day  of  recitations. 

A  "navy"  was  organized  by  men  who  knew  little  more  about  rowing  than 
those  who  joined  with  them. 

A  glee  club  was  organized  and  commenced  to  sing  the  ever  famous  Alma 
Mater. 

The  Era  literary  magazine  was  started  and  is  now  one  of  the  oldest  of  college 
publications. 

A  gymnasium  was  opened  by  student  subscriptions.  New  buildings  were 
erected  by  the  trustees  without  any  visible  means  of  paying  for  the  same. 

Differences  arose  between  the  faculty  and  trustees,  but  both  worked  away 
with  a  will.  The  alumni  and  trustees  also  had  some  bickerings,  but  not  very 
serious. 

Then  the  religious  colleges  lambasted  Cornell  unceasingly. 

The  loss  of  the  Fiske  millions  was  keenly  felt  but  was  compensated  for  by 
the  generosity  of  Henry  W.  Sage.  However,  the  new  institution  prospered, 
to  the  great  joy  of  its  friends,  and  the  confusion  of  its  enemies. 

The  new  university  started  lif e  without  prestige,  relying  for  success  entirely 
upon  its  own  merits. 

The  students  were  allowed  great  liberty  in  the  choice  of  studies,  and  a  very 
large  measure  of  personal  liberty — they  were  put  upon  their  honor  as  gentlemen. 

The  people  of  Ithaca,  unlike  the  citizens  of  most  college  towns,  gave  the 
welcome  hand  to  the  new  students,  and  this  neighborly  feeling  has  continued 
to  the  present  day. 

A  majority  of  the  students  roomed  down  town,  and,  as  Cornell  was  a  semi- 
military  college,  they  wore  their  military  uniforms  all  the  time. 

As  several  of  the  entering  students  had  taken  advanced  standing,  the  next 
year,  1869,  witnessed  the  first  commencement,  when  eight  graduates  received 
their  diplomas. 

Women  students  first  entered  the  University  in  1871,  and  the  first  class  to 
graduate  women  was  that  of  1873,  when  three  of  them  were  awarded  diplomas.

THE  FOUNDER 

"Bountiful  heart! — bountiful  hand! 
Bountiful  heart  and  hand!" 

— F.  M.  FINCH. 

Our  noble  founder,  Ezra  Cornell,  was  of  New  England  Quaker  ancestry. 
His  parents  were  poor,  and  he  had  to  make  his  own  way  in  the  world.  By  his 
native  genius,  and  hard  work,  he  acquired  great  wealth  from  his  connection 
with  the  Morse  telegraph  interests.  He  had  long  cherished  the  project  of  found- 
ing a  University,  where  the  youth  of  the  land  could  obtain  a  better  education 
than  he  had  received  in  his  own  boyhood. 

He  expressed  his  ideas  in  his  own  happily-chosen  words: 

"I  would  found  an  institution  where  any  person  can  find  instruction  in  any 
study."  This  became  the  motto  of  the  new  university. 

He  became  a  senator  of  the  State  of  New  York,  in  1864.  Andrew  D.  White 
was  a  colleague  and  Chairman  of  the  Senate  Committee  on  Education. 

In  him  our  future  founder  found  a  sympathetic  listener,  and  from  that  time 
forward  they  held  many  conferences.  Ezra  Cornell  proposed  the  material  side 
and  Andrew  D.  White  the  soul  of  a  bill  to  charter  the  new  university,  and,  after 
it  was  drafted  by  Charles  J.  Folger,  chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Committee  of 
the  Senate,  it  was  submitted  to  the  Legislature. 

That  body  was  hostile  to  the  new  project,  the  only  opposition  coming  from 
The  Peoples  College,  at  Havana,  N.  Y.,  some  other  feeble  colleges,  and  from 
denominational  colleges,  that  regarded  the  proposed  non-sectarian  university 
as  "Godless."  They  wanted  some  of  the  U.  S.  Land  Grants  apportioned  to 
the  State  of  New  York,  all  of  which  the  new  university  was  to  receive.  The 
bill  finally  passed. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xv 

After  the  granting  of  the  charter  in  1865,  there  came  the  immense  work  of 
organization,  and  building,  the  choosing  of  a  president  and  faculty,  and  pre- 
paring a  curriculum  of  study.  The  new  university  then  started  upon  its  course. 

Ezra  Cornell  was  asked  to  become  a  candidate,  because  of  his  great  services 
to  the  cause  of  education  and  agriculture,  for  Govenor  of  the  State. 

Ezra  Cornell  pinned  his  faith  to  the  Common  People.  He  was  especially 
interested  in  the  education  of  poor  young  men,  and  wanted  them  to  have  an 
industrial  education  to  help  themselves  in  the  world.  He  believed  also  in  the 
higher  education. 

His  first  large  gift  was  the  Cornell  Library  to  his  loved  Ithaca  and  then, 
came  the  greater  gift  of  the  University.  Some  of  his  ideas  about  education,  and 
especially  about  the  self-support  of  students,  while  getting  an  education,  were 
impracticable,  and  had  to  be  greatly  modified,  or  altered. 

He  was  a  Hicksite  Quaker,  but  broad  in  his  religious  views.  If  old  Diogenes, 
with  a  lighted  lantern  in  the  day-time,  had  come  around  to  find  an  honest  man, 
he  would  have  found  him  in  the  person  of  Ezra  Cornell. 

He  was  one  of  the  greatest  of  Americans  in  that  he  had  a  broad  and  liberal 
mind,  and  a  charity  for  other  men's  opinions. 

He  lived  in  the  early  years,  when  he  was  poor,  at  "The  Nook,"  the  little 
gothic  house  near  the  present  Percy  Field.  After  becoming  more  prosperous 
he  made  his  home  at  Forest  Park,  Stewart  and  South  Avenues,  near  the  Campus. 
Then  he  removed  to  an  old  brick  mansion  "Down  Town,"  where  the  Ithaca 
Savings  Bank  building  now  stands. 

Finally,  he  built,  but  did  not  live  to  occupy  and  enjoy,  the  splendid  Elizabethan 
mansion  on  University  Hill,  over  the  portal  of  which  were  chiseled  the  words: 
"True  and  Firm."  He  died  December  9th,  1874,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y. 

"From  Slander's  driving  sleet, 
From  Envoy's  pitiless  rain, 
At  rest,  the  aching  feet! 
At  rest,  the  weary  brain. 

So  calm,  and  grave,  and  still, 
Men  thought  his  silence,  pride: 
Nor  guessed  the  truth,  until 
Death  told  it— as  he  died." 

— F.  M.  FINCH. 

Cornell  is  now  among  the  angels  looking  down, 
But  his  spirit  marches  on.

THE  FIRST  PRESIDENT 

"If  you  ask  whence  comes  our  candidate,  my  answer  shall  be:  from  Ap- 
pomatox,  and  its  famous  apple-tree." — ROSCOE  CONKLING. 

If  you  ask  whence  came  our  great  first  President,  the  answer  shall  be:  the 
words  of  a  friend  in  introducing  him  to  Prince  Bismarck: 

"Born  at  Homer;  reared  at  Syracuse;  President  of  a  college  at  Ithaca." 

Andrew  Dickson  White  was  born  to  great  wealth,  and  might  have  attained 
the  highest  political  honors,  had  he  cared  to  enter  practical  politics. 

It  was  mostly  owing  to  his  great  political  sagacity  that  he  steered  the  frail 
craft,  with  the  Charter-Bill  aboard,  between  the  dangerous  rocks  of  Scylla  and 
Charybdis  safe  to  its  haven's  pier. 

He  was  elected  to  the  New  York  State  Senate,  and  there  met  Ezra  Cornell, 
who  was  to  exert  so  powerful  an  influence  upon  his  subsequent  career.  The 
friendship  thus  formed  ended  only  with  the  life  of  the  founder.  The  result  of 
their  meeting — the  man  of  wealth,  and  the  educator — was  the  founding  of 
Cornell  University. 

In  every  plan  to  that  end  Andrew  D.  White  took  a  masterful  part.  The 
comprehensive  and  progressive  plans  which  they  then  prepared  have  been 
literally  carried  out  to  the  present  day. 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  he  was  unanimously  chosen 
the  President  of  Cornell  University.  He  remained  in  the  office  twenty  years, 
1866-1885,  when  he  resigned.  However,  he  continues  as  trustee  and  valued 
adviser,  and  constant  benefactor  and  friend  of  the  alumni. 

His  early  experiences  at  Albany  in  combating  intrigue,  lying  and  graft,  dis- 
gusted him  and  he  preferred  to  don  the  academic  robes,  and  was  later  rewarded 
politically  on  his  merits.  He  was  of  New  England  ancestry  and  Revolutionary 
stock. 

He  graduated  in  Yale's  famous  class  of  '53,  and  afterwards  studied  abroad. 

Early  in  his  college  career  he  began  to  see  visions;  the  narrow,  stone  walls 
of  Hobart  College,  where  he  commenced,  expanded  into  marble  halls.  At  Yale 
where  he  attended  later,  he  built  castles-in-Spain  and  saw  the  Alhambra  trans- 
formed into  a  great  palace  of  learning. 

At  Oxford  and  Cambridge  his  dreams  began  to  take  form  as  he  saw  the  great 
Bodleian  Library,  Christ  Church  and  Trinity  Halls  and  the  beautiful  towers 
of  Magdalen  and  Merton,  and  the  quadrangles  of  Jesus  and  St.  John's. 

Afterwards  when  professor  of  history  at  the  University  of  Michigan,  he 
began  to  talk  with  friends  about  the  desirability  of  a  great  university  in  the 
greatest  state — his  own  native  state — New  York,  where  there  would  be  other 
than  the  one  old-fashioned  course  in  Arts  with  its  Greek  and  Latin — courses 
that  would  fit  men  for  the  special  professions  or  occupations  that  they  intended 
to  follow  in  after  life. 

As  one  of  the  creators  of  the  university  of  universities,  he,  with  Ezra  Cornell, 
John  McGraw,  Henry  W.  Sage,  and  Hiram  Sibley,  ranks  among  the  world's 
great  benefactors. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xvn 

As  the  author  of  the  Warfare  of  Science,  the  story  of  persecution  in  the  Dark 
Ages  of  superstition  and  religious  intolerance,  he  proved  himself  to  be  a  great 
investigator,  a  profound  historical  scholar,  and  a  seeker  and  teller  of  the  truth, 
a  work  which  ranks  him  with  the  world's  great  historians  and  benefactors.  As 
a  diplomat  he  rendered  valuable  services  to  his  country  abroad.  As  a  benefac- 
tor of  Cornell  financially,  and  as  one  of  the  moving  causes  for  others  to  give, 
he  has  rendered  inestimable  services  to  the  University  which  were  given  gratu- 
itously. Besides  he  would  never  take  any  salary.  Finally,  as  the  author  of 
a  splendid  "Autobiography"  he  has  told  the  story  of  the  founding  of  Cornell, 
and  its  early  history,  in  a  beautiful  way,  which  no  one  else  can  more  than 
imitate,  for  he  is  not  only  capable  of  doing  great  things  in  a  great  way,  but 
he  was  one  of  the  principal  actors  in  the  stirring  events  which  he  describes. 

President  White  was  always  interested  in  history,  especially  American  his- 
tory, and,  by  his  advice,  Cornell  was  the  first  University  in  this  country  to  have 
a  chair  of  American  History. 

He  made  a  great  study  of  methods  of  teaching,  both  in  his  own  country  and 
abroad,  and  the  result  was  embodied  in  the  system  of  education  adopted  at 
Cornell. 

He  recognized  the  importance  of,  and  incorporated  in  the  Cornell  system 
of  education,  industrial  training.  He  thinks  Latin  of  more  value  to  the  student 
than  Greek. 

He  has  always  been  a  friend  of  the  secondary  schools  of  the  State.  Freedom 
of  choice  of  studies  has  always  been  a  leading  feature  of  education  with  him, 
and  at  Cornell. 

While  serving  as  Minister  and  Ambassador  his  home  was  ever  a  center  of 
hospitality,  where  could  be  met  not  only  the  greatest  diplomats  and  statesmen, 
but  also  great  scholars,  artists  and  writers. 

He  has  made  many  valuable  gifts,  from  time  to  time,  from  his  own  large 
private  means;  built  the  Presidents  House,  for  the  Presidents,  when  he  is  through 
with  it;  gave  his  own  valuable  historical  library  of  30,000  volumes,  valued  at 
more  than  $100,000;  built  the  artistic  entrance  gateway,  and  in  many  other 
ways  aided  the  University  financially.  His  example  and  his  high  standing  as 
an  educator  caused  many  wealthy  friends  to  aid  the  University.  All  he  seemed 
to  have  to  say  to  them  were  the  talismic  words  "open  Sesame"  and  they  helped. 

He  was  President  of  the  American  Delegation  to  the  International  Peace 
Congress  at  The  Hague. 

President  White,  on  the  opening  day  of  the  University,  expected  that  the 
founder  would  not  survive  the  occasion,  for  he  had  been  ill  for  a  long  time  and 
had  lain  moaning  on  a  bed  of  pain  by  night  and  day.  He,  himself,  was  ill  and 
they  were  both  borne  upon  litters  to  the  place  where  the  exercises  were  held. 
He  bore  up  bravely  until  George  William  Curtis  used  the  simile  of  the  ship  when 
his  heart  sank  within  him  and  he  nearly  collapsed — such  kind  words  after  so 
much  hard  work  and  abuse  of  himself  and  the  founder  by  enemies.

He  has  often  said:  "The  marvellous  growth  and  the  success  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity have  exceeded  my  fondest  anticipations."  The  high  honors  which  Presi- 
dent White  received  abroad  were  very  pleasing  to  his  former  students. 

He  is  honored  by  Cornellians  everywhere.  He  is  one  of  the  greatest  of  living 
American  diplomatists,  statesmen  and  scholars. 

A  bronze  statue  of  President  White,  by  Karl  Bitter,  the  gift  of  H.  R.  Ickel- 
heimer,  '88,  stands  in  front  of  Goldwin  Smith  Hall  in  the  university  quadrangle. 

He  now  resides  on  the  Cornell  Campus,  and,  although  four  score  and  three 
years  of  age,  retains  his  mental  vigor  and  good  health,  and  has  not  yet  retired 
from  the  active  duties  of  life.  What  a  cloud  of  memories  must  rush  upon  him, 
and  with  what  satisfaction  he  must  view  the  work  which  his  hand  builded — 
for  it  might  have  all  miserably  failed. 

Other  colleges  had  arisen  long  enough  to  have  their  pictures  taken,  as  it 
were,  and  then  subsided,  and  were  never  heard  of  again.  The  wise  ones  attribute 
Cornell's  success  mostly  to  the  inspiring  ideas,  example,  words  and  deeds  of 
Andrew  D.  White.  That  he  may  long  live  to  enjoy  the  homage  due  to  him  is 
the  ardent  wish  of  every  Cornellian. 

THE  SECOND  PRESIDENT 

Charles  Kendall  Adams  was  born  January  24,  1835,  at  Derby,  Vt.,  and  was 
related  to  the  Presidents  Adams.  He  graduated  at  Michigan  University  in  the 
class  of  1861,  where  he  became  Professor  of  History  and  Dean  of  the  School  of 
Political  Science.  He  became  well  known  as  a  scholar  and  teacher,  and  upon 
the  resignation  of  President  White,  he  was  chosen  President  of  Cornell  Uni- 
versity in  1885.  President  Adams  showed  great  executive  ability,  and  the  Uni- 
versity grew  in  the  number  of  buildings,  endowments,  professors  and  students. 
The  Library  Building,  Barnes,  Lincoln,  Morse  and  Boardman  Halls  and  the 
Gymnasium  Annex  were  built  during  his  administration.  He  was  the  author 
of  a  "Manual  of  American  Literature,"  and  a  "Life  of  Christopher  Columbus," 
and  many  magazine  articles,  and  he  delivered  many  public  addresses.  He  was 
President  of  the  American  Historical  Association,  and  a  member  of  many  his- 
torical and  other  learned  societies.  His  connection  with  a  non-sectarian  and 
State  University  before  he  came  to  Cornell  was  of  great  value  in  preparing  him 
for  his  new  position.  He  visited  Europe  several  times  and  carefully  studied 
university  methods  of  teaching  there,  and  was  thus  enabled  to  choose  the  best 
methods  adapted  to  American  education.  After  serving  as  President  of  Cornell 
for  seven  years,  1885-92,  he  resigned.  He  then  became  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Wisconsin.  Died  July  26,  1902,  at  Redlands,  California. 

THE  THIRD  AND  PRESENT  PRESIDENT 

"It  was  the  crowded  Senate  Chamber." 

— WEBSTER'S  REPLY  TO  HAYNE. 

When  President  Jacob  Gould  Schurman  addressed  a  vast  assemblage  in 
Sage  Chapel,  who  listened  attentively  to  every  word,  on  the  subject  of  The 
Bible,  he  not  only  did  justice  to  a  great  subject,  but  he  demonstrated  that  the 
speaker  was  a  great  historical  student,  a  close  reasoner  and  a  great  orator. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xix 

And  when,  at  a  great  political  meeting  in  Ithaca's  Lyceum,  he  uttered  bitter 
invective  against  all  who  should  oppose  the  progressive  measures  of  Governor 
Charles  E.  Hughes,  he  proved  that  the  world  had  lost  one  of  its  greatest  jurist- 
consults  when  he  became  one  of  its  foremost  educators. 

He  possesses  splendid  qualifications  for  political  leadership,  and  while  he 
has  twice  served  his  country  abroad  in  the  field  of  diplomacy,  yet  had  he  cared 
to  he  might  have  attained  still  higher  political  honors  at  the  hands  of  President 
McKinley,  but  he  declined,  feeling  that  he  was  consecrated  to  a  Great  Work, 
the  upbuilding  of  Cornell  University. 

And  he  has  been  very  successful,  for,  under  his  administration,  it  has  grown 
marvellously,  not  only  materially  and  financially,  but  educationally.  While  a 
professor  at  Cornell,  before  being  called  to  the  administration  of  affairs,  he  was 
considered  one  of  the  most  promising  minds  in  the  field  of  pure  thinking. 

There  will  always  be  a  warm  corner  in  the  hearts  of  Cornellians  for  President 
Schurman.  For  twenty-four  years  he  has  annually  delivered  a  masterly  address 
to  the  incoming  Freshmen  class,  which  made  a  profound  impression  and  in- 
fluenced the  lives  of  the  young  hearers,  not  only  during  their  college  course, 
but  during  their  whole  career. 

He  visits  the  sick,  a  side  of  his  nature,  which  may  not  be  known  to  the  general 
University  public. 

He  makes  it  a  special  point  to  attend  personally  as  many  of  the  alumni  gather- 
ings as  possible,  often  at  great  inconvenience  to  himself,  whenever  his  university 
duties  will  allow  him  to  do  so,  and  speaks  upon  the  subject  nearest  their  hearts, 
their  Alma  Mater,  its  present  condition,  its  growth,  and  its  needs  with  a  cordial 
invitation  to  revisit  the  scenes  of  their  college  days. 

He  helps  many  of  them  to  high  positions.  During  his  administration  came 
about  the  co-operation  of  the  State  of  New  York,  for  that  great  Commonwealth 
decided  to  provide  for  the  education  of  its  farmers'  sons  and  daughters,  by  giving 
agricultural  college  buildings  to  Cornell  for  their  use. 

Whatever  success  President  Schurman  has  attained  in  the  world  he  owes  to 
his  own  brain  and  his  own  hard  work,  without  favor  or  influence,  for  he  was  a 
poor  boy  and  worked  his  way  up,  round  by  round  of  the  ladder  till  he  is  at  the 
top.  He  will  be  heard  from  later,  well  and  favorably,  politically,  if  he  will  allow 
his  name  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the  Republican  nomination  for  some  great 
political  office,  or,  if  he  will  accept  appointive  office. 

President  Schurman  has  magnetism — that  compelling  force  that  induces 
other  men  to  think  as  he  does  and  to  do  the  acts  which  he  wishes  them  to  do; 
in  other  words  he  is  clear-headed  and  forceful  and  persuasive — and  he  is  a  bad 
opponent  to  meet  in  debate. 

He  is  physically  large,  strong  and  youthful,  in  strong  contrast  to  President 
White,  who  was  always  somewhat  frail,  and  likely  to  break  down  under  great 
strain,  while  President  Schurman  takes  plenty  of  out-door  exercise,  his  chief 
recreation  being  golf. 


xx  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

President  Schurman  too,  like  President  White,  is  called  "Prexy,"  a  classic 
term  which  means  more  on  undergraduate  lips,  than  the  mere  presidency  of 
the  institution.  It  carries  with  it  an  expression  of  esteem  and  admiration  for 
the  personality  of  the  man,  as  well  as  respect  for  his  official  position. 


PROFESSOR  HIRAM  CORSON 

"All  the  world's  a  stage,  and  all  the  men  and  women  in  it  are  the  actors." 

— SHAKESPEARE  . 

Professor  Hiram  Corson  lived,  worked,  walked,  talked  and  wrote  in  an  at- 
mosphere of  Shakespeare. 

His  home  was  the  favorite  meeting  place  of  lovers  of  Shakespeare  and  Brown- 
ing. 

He  was  at  one  time  private  secretary  to  Lewis  Cass.  He  was  also  assistant 
reporter  in  the  United  States  Senate  and  reported  some  of  the  speeches  of  Daniel 
Webster. 

There  was  a  little  one-story  cottage  that  stood  opposite  his  own  grand  old- 
fashioned  home.  He  did  not  like  its  appearance  and  once  in  conversation  with 
the  writer  said  that  it  "lowered  the  moral  tone." 

He  greatly  promoted  the  study  of  English  literature  at  Cornell. 

His  public  readings  from  Shakespeare  were  literary  treats  of  the  highest  order. 
He  was  the  author  of  many  books  on  English  literature. 

He  was  dignified  and  picturesque  appearing,  being  tall  and  slender,  and 
going  about  clad  in  a  long  coat,  and  pants  to  match,  with  a  soft  felt  broad- 
brimmed  hat  on  his  head,  wearing  glasses,  and  with  hair  and  beard  long,  and 
wearing  on  his  fingers  curious  antique  rings. 

He  was  the  ideal  personification  of  an  old-fashioned,  college  professor,  and 
courteous  gentleman. 

He  lived  for  many  years  in  Cascadilla  cottage.    He  died  only  recently. 


JOHN  McGRAw 

At  the  opening  day  exercises  in  Library  Hall,  John  McGraw  said  to  Henry 
W.  Sage:  "It  is  a  shame  for  us  to  sit  here  and  not  do  anything,  after  what  those 
two  men  have  done,"  referring  to  Ezra  Cornell  and  Andrew  D.  White,  after 
they  had  spoken. 

With  him  to  think  was  to  act,  and  so  he  built  the  McGraw  Hall.  He  in- 
tended to  do  more,  but  left  it  to  his  daughter  to  carry  out  his  wishes. 

His  residence  in  Ithaca  enabled  him  to  participate  very  actively  in  the  councils 
of  the  University  in  the  early  days  and  his  knowledge  of  business  affairs  was  of 
great  value.

HIRAM  SIBLEY 

He  thought  very  highly  of  Ezra  Cornell,  although  they  differed  politically. 
He  had  always  been  interested  in  industrial  education.    He  gave  the  Sibley 
College  and  founded  the  Professorship  of  Practical  Mechanics. 

When  some  particularly  mean  thing  about  Ezra  Cornell  appeared  in  the 
newspapers  he  sat  down  and  wrote  out  and  sent  a  check  for  $30,000,  as  a  slight 
protest. 

This  motto  appears  in  Sibley  College: 

THERE     ARE     TWO     MOST     VALUABLE     POSSESSIONS     WHICH     NO 
SEARCH-WARRANT     CAN    GET    AT,    WHICH    NO    EXECUTION     CAN

HENRY  W.  SAGE 

It  would  be  impossible  to  estimate  in  dollars  and  cents  the  value  of  his  great 
services  to  the  University.  Besides  his  many  gifts  of  buildings,  endowments 
and  money,  amounting  to  about  $2,000,000,  he  gave  his  valuable  time  and  ser- 
vices, as  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  many  years. 

He  was  living  in  Brooklyn  at  the  time  of  the  founding  of  the  University, 
but  the  work  at  Cornell  appealed  so  strongly  to  his  sympathies  that  he  moved 
to  Ithaca,  to  be  near  the  institution  that  he  loved  so  well. 

On  his  eightieth  birthday  his  Cornell  friends  presented  him  with  a  beautiful 
silver  vase,  the  workmanship  of  Tiffany,  and  addresses  of  congratulations,  both 
written  and  spoken. 

He, was  in  advance  of  most  other  thinkers  of  his  time,  when  he  decided  to 
aid  women  to  a  higher  education. 

He  helped  greatly  by  his  business  acumen  in  saving  the  Western  lands  for 
higher  prices,  his  opinion  in  this  matter  being  largely  defered  to  by  others. 

"To  truth  our  noblest  temple  hast  thou  reared, 
And  one  to  piety,  to  womanhood 
A  third,  and  each  with  finger  upward  points 
The  path  of  Godlike  souls;   yea,  Heaven  annoints 
With  aspiration  all  thy  spirit  would, 
And  makes,  as  from  itself,  thy  deeds  revered." 

A  NOTABLE  TRUSTEE 

Stewart  Lyndon  Woodford  was  born  September  3,  1835,  in  New  York  City. 
He  was  educated  at  Yale  and  Columbia  Universities. 

He  was  a  general  in  the  Civil  War  and  a  distinguished  lawyer  in  New  York 
City. 


xxii  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

He  bravely  represented  the  State  of  New  York  at  the  opening  services  at 
Cornell,  and  made  a  gracious  and  felicitous  speech. 

He  was  at  the  time,  ex  officio,  trustee  of  the  University,  and  was  afterwards 
repeatedly  elected  to  that  office. 

He  founded  the  Woodford  Prize  in  Oratory.  He  was  always  a  welcome 
guest  at  Cornell  gatherings,  and  was  frequently  called  upon  for  speeches,  which 
were  always  polished  and  witty. 

He  once  explained  the  choosing  of  the  Cornell  colors  by  saying,  that  the 
carnelian  was  for  Ezra  Cornell,  and  the  white  for  President  White. 

He  was  always  greatly  interested  in  the  military  training  of  citizen  soldiers 
at  Cornell. 

He  was  U.  S.  Minister  to  Spain  at  the  outbreak  of  our  war  with  that  country. 

Soon  after  he  retired  from  the  Spanish  mission  he  attended  a  University 
alumni  banquet  and  was  asked  to  speak.  He  arose  and  said  "A  diplomat  should 
have  eyes  to  see  and  ears  to  hear  but  no  tongue  to  speak." 

He  died  only  recently. 


A  NOTABLE  WOMEN 

Jennie  McGraw  was  an  early  friend  of  Cornell  University,  and  soon  after 
its  founding,  gave  the  beautiful  chime  of  bells  for  the  McGraw  tower. 

At  early  morn  their  voices  say: 

"Cling,  clang,  cling,  the  bells  are  ringing, 

Hope  and  help  their  chiming  tells; 
Through  the  Cascadilla  dell. 

'Neath  the  arches  of  Cornell 
Float  the  melody  and  music  of  the  bells."

At  eventide  their  voices  say : 

"When  the  sun  fades  far  away, 
In  the  crimson  of  the  West, 
And  the  voices  of  the  day 

Murmur  low  and  sink  to  rest. 

Refrain: 

"Music  with  the  twilight  falls,

Of  our  own,  our  fair  Cornell."

She  was  fond  of  literature  and  foreign  travel. 

She  afterwards  married  Professor  Willard  Fiske  of  Cornell. 

She  built  the  beautiful  Fiske  mansion  which  stood  on  the  site  of  an  ancient 
Indian  signal  fire,  overlooking  lake  and  city.  She  filled  it  with  art  objects,  ex- 
pecting that  the  collection  would  some  day  be  used  by  the  University.  This 
mansion,  though  never  officially  connected  with  the  University,  yet  always 
a  romantic  interest  to  Cornellians. 


She  returned  from  abroad  September  30,  1881,  and  died  a  few  days  later. 

She  left  by  will  her  residuarv  estate  to  Cornell  University,  for  a  library  and 
hospital,  but  her  will  was  broken. 

However,  a  friend  came  forward  and  built  and  endowed  the  library. 
The  tablet  at  the  entrance  reads: 

"THE  GOOD  SHE  TRIED  TO  DO  SHALL  STAND  AS  IF  *T  WERE  DONE 
GOD    FINISHES    THE    WORK    BY    NOBLE    SOULS    BEGUN.

The  pathos  of  her  early  death  was  increased  by  the  destruction  of  her  palatial 
mansion  by  fire,  near  to  one  Christmas  Eve,  not  long  ago,  with  the  loss  of  eight 
human  lives. 

"When  the  gentle  hand  that  gave, 

Lies  beneath  the  marble  grave, 
And  the  daisies  weep  with  drippings  of  the  shower, 
O  believe  me  brother  dear, 
In  the  shadows  we  shall  hear, 
Guiding  voices  of  our  angel  in  the  tower."

TRIBUTE  OF  ANDREW  D.  WHITE. 

Goldwin  Smith  was  born  August  23,  1823,  at  Reading,  England. 

After  graduating  at  Oxford  University  be  became  Regius  Professor  of  His- 
tory there. 

In  the  dark  days  of  our  Civil  War  he  championed  the  Union  cause  with 
voice  and  pen.  He  afterwards  removed  to  Toronto,  Canada. 

He  early  became  interested  in  Cornell  University,  and  was  one  of  its  earliest 
professors,  filling  the  Chair  of  English  History.  His  name  attracted  many  new 
students.  He  was  an  elegant  classical  scholar  and  a  splendid  lecturer.  His 
class-room  was  crowded.

He  gave  for  the  Campus  a  beautifully  carved  stone  seat  on  which  are

He  left  by  will  his  entire  estate,  amounting  to  about  $750,000,  to  the  Uni-

He  died  June  7th,  1910. 

THE  FIRST  REGISTRAR 

The  first  incumbent  of  this  office,  the  Rev.  Dr.  William  D.  Wilson,  was  greatly 
beloved. 

He  possessed  a  marvellous  memory  for  he  would  call  by  name  every  student 
upon  entering  his  office. 

The  present  popular  Registrar  introduced  the  card  index  system,  which 
greatly  simplifies  the  work  of  keeping  the  records. 

The  following  refers  to  him,  but  is  not  to  be  taken  seriously : 

"Everybody  works  at  Cornell 
But  David  Fletcher  Hoy.

Williams  takes  the  dough, 
Everybody  works  but  Davy 
Now  ain't  that  so  ?"

Here  is  another: 

"The  opening  of  the  year  begins  the  book, 
The  Frosh  line  up  with  timid,  frightened  look 
Before  the  Czar,  who  frightens  them  still  more; 
Some  he  admits,  and  others  shows  the  door; 
The  first  the  meaning  of  their  cards  reveal; 
The  others,  luckless  youths,  are  forced  to  travel. 
All  ready  to  admit  it's  easier  far, 
To  fool  St.  Pete  than  bluff  the  Registrar."

CORNELL'S  ENVIRONMENT 

At  the  time  of  the  founding  of  the  University,  Ithaca,  the  seat  of  the  Uni- 
versity, was  a  small  inland  town  of  about  6,000  people,  with  but  one  railroad, 
and  a  steamboat  line.  It  is  now  a  flourishing  city  of  22,000  population,  includ- 
ing students.  But  it  is  the  beautiful,  natural  scenery  in  and  near  the  University 
Campus  that  mostly  interests  CorneUians. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xxv 

The  "Switzerland  of  America"  is  a  proper  descriptive  term  to  apply  to  it. 

On  the  northern  border  of  the  original  Campus  lies  the  Ithaca  Gorge,  through 
which  flows  Fall  Creek,  between  towering  rocky  walls.  Here  are  five  beautiful 
falls,  the  lowest  and  greatest  being  Ithaca  Fall,  having  a  height  of  130  feet.  • 

The  Taughannock  Falls,  at  the  north,  and  only  a  few  miles  away,  are  213 
feet  high,  or  60  feet  higher  than  Niagara  Falls. 

Beautiful  Enfield  Falls  and  Glen  are  at  the  southwest,  only  a  few  miles 
away.  The  glen  is  soon  to  be  fitted  up  with  new  walks. 

The  white  Buttermilk  Falls  are  only  two  miles  south. 

The  scenic  drives  about  Cornell  are  among  the  most  beautiful  in  the  world. 

The  Cornell  Campus  is  an  academic  grove,  where  landscape  gardening,  in 
the  midst  of  natural  beauty  of  lake  and  wooded  hill  and  glen,  has  reached  its 
perfection.  There  is  inspiration  for  study  in  such  surroundings. 

A  Cornell  professor,  who  is  an  authority  on  the  subject,  says  that  the  winding 
courses  of  "Six  Mile  Creek"  and  "The  Inlet"  through  the  valley  south  of  Ithaca, 
forms  one  of  the  most  beautiful  sights  in  the  world,  and,  with  the  planting  of 
more  trees  along  their  banks,  the  scene  would  be  unsurpassed. 

"Within  the  valley  curves  a  lake 
Whose  waters  bright  with  sunshine  gleam, 
And  like  the  cadence  of  a  dream, 
Upon  the  shore  in  silver  break; 
And  'gainst  a  city's  restless  tide 
Ripples  from  dawn  to  eventide." 

— O.  W. 

"In  a  wondrous  valley  there  lies  a  town, 
Beneath  a  towering  hill; 
Lapped  by  a  silvery  lake — 
All  quiet  and  sleeping  and  still; 
For  years  it  has  slept  in  the  valley, 
And  I  think  it  always  will." 

— K.  F.  R. 


THE  ALUMNI 

"I  am  thinking  to-night  of  my  old  college  town, 
I  am  dreaming  of  days  that  are  flown, 

Of  the  joys  and  the  strifes 

Of  my  old  college  life, 
Ah,  those  days  were  the  best  I  have  known." 

— L.  C.  EHLE,  '90.

With  what  conflicting  emotions,  of  pride,  joy  and  sadness,  does  the  retiring 
graduate  watch  the  commencenemt  parade  wending  its  way  along  the  paths 
to  the  place  of  meeting! 

What  Cornellian  can  ever  forget  the  slow  climb  of  the  train  up  South  Hill 
and  that  last  look  ? 

The  alumni  did  not  have  representation  on  the  Board  of  Trustees  until  1874, 
and  then  could  only  vote  in  person  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  alumni  hi  June, 
at  Cornell.  Later  they  were  given  the  privilege  of  voting  by  ballot  by  mail. 

It  was  thought  best  at  first  to  choose  but  one  of  their  number,  because  the 
vast  possessions  of  the  University  required  men  of  mature  years  and  business 
judgment  to  manage  them. 

There  never  was  a  college  blessed  with  more  loyal  alumni  than  Cornell. 
Their  sentiments  are  expressed  in  the  following  lines;: 

"The  soldier  loves  his  gen'ral's  fame, 
The  willow  loves  the  stream, 
The  child  will  love  its  mother's  name, 
The  dreamer  loves  his  dream; 
The  sailor  loves  his  haven's  pier, 
The  shadow  loves  the  dell, 
The  student  holds  no  name  so  dear, 
As  thy  good  name,  Cornell." 

Refrain: 

"We'll  honor  thee,  Cornell, 
We'll  honor  thee,  Cornell, 

While  breezes  blow, 

Or  waters  flow, 
We'll  honor  thee,  Cornell." 

— G.  R.  BIRGE,  '72. 

At  the  first  University  alumni  banquet  President  White  was  the  guest  of 
honor. 

When  he  arose  to  speak,  the  cheering  by  the  old  Cornellians,  standing,  was 
so  great,  and  the  applause  so  prolonged,  that  he  was  slightly  embarrasesd,  being 
innocent  of  the  cause  of  the  great  ovation,  but  when  he  learned  the  truth  he 
was  greatly  pleased. 

To  illustrate  still  further  this  feeling,  or  sentiment:  Wherever  President 
White  goes,  there  the  local  alumni  make  it  a  point  to  call  upon  him  and  pay 
their  respects.  While  travelling  to  the  Pacific  Coast  and  Mexico,  as  the  guest 
of  Andrew  Carnegie,  the  great  iron-master,  was  greatly  surprised,  and  became 
more  interested  in  college  life,  because  of  this  proof  of  loyalty.  However,  as 
they  approached  the  City  of  Mexico,  the  host  remarked  that  they  were  now  too 
far  from  home  to  meet  any  more  college  men. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xxvn 

They  had  no  more  than  become  settled  at  the  hotel  and  the  news  of  their 
arrival  noised  abroad,  when  a  Cornell  visitor  was  announced. 

"Why,"  said  the  surprised  President,  "what  are  you  doing  down  here  ?" 

"I  am  building  the  largest  printing  plant  in  the  Republic  of  Mexico,"  re- 
plied our  Cornellian. 


After  all  has  been  said,  its  students  are  the  university;  buildings,  apparatus 
and  professors  are  necessary,  but  it  is  the  students  and  what  they  do  that  de- 
cides whether  a  university  shall  prosper  or  fail;  they  principally  build  up  its 
prestige,  or  otherwise,  and  by  that  standard  does  it  become  known,  favorably 
or  unfavorably. 

An  alumnus,  at  a  University  alumni  banquet,  said:  "I  have  been  a  trustee 
for  fifteen  years;  this  morning  the  President's  wife  invited  us  to  dinner,  and 
then  for  the  first  time,  I  knew  what  I  was  trustee  for." 

Another  alumnus,  at  a  political  meeting,  said,  "I  was  a  poor  boy  and  at- 
tended Cornell,  but  I  was  too  big  for  the  University,  or  it  was  too  big  for  me,  so 
I  quit." 

Another  speaker  commented:  "A  man  was  not  slow,  who  came  into  town  on 
a  freight  train  and  went  out  on  a  flyer." 

In  the  early  days,  when  a  certain  Cornell  student  went  home  for  a  vacation, 
a  farmer  friend  inquired  how  he  was  getting  along  at  school;  "Oh,"  said  our 
Cornellian,  "the  trustees  have  boarded  up  the  doors  and  windows  of  the  school- 
house  and  the  teachers  and  scholars  have  gone  home." 

Joseph  H.  Choate  says  that  among  the  products  of  America  are  college 
graduates. 

A  man  who  graduates  at  Cornell  is  conscious  that  there  is  no  better  univer- 
sity anywhere  and  that  gives  him  inspiration  for  work.  However,  the  smaller 
colleges  have  strong  bodies  of  alumni  behind  them.  They  say  that  Harvard 
men  are  all  right  in  Boston,  but  that  Yale  men  are  good  everywhere;  that  they 
are  good  "mixers."  Cornellians  are  good  workers  everywhere. 

The  Cornellian  Council  has  raised  a  large  sum  annually  among  the  alumni 
to  help  the  University  in  places  where  no  other  funds  were  available.  One  re- 
sult has  been  the  building  of  Founder's  Hall,  one  of  the  new  men's  dormitories, 
at  a  cost  of  $100,000.  It  is  making  a  special  effort  to  raise  a  large  endowment 
by  1918. 


THE  INTERVENING  YEARS 

The  years  from  the  opening  day  to  the  present  time  have  been  busy  ones 
at  Cornell.  President  White,  after  serving  for  twenty  years,  resigned,  and  was 
succeeded  by  President  Adams,  who  remained  only  seven  years,  when  he  re- 
signed, and  was  succeeded  by  President  Schurman. 


xxvm  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

After  the  first  flush  of  prosperity  the  number  of  students  began  to  dwindle, 
from  various  causes,  until  there  were  only  312  in  one  term  in  1881-2,  and  it 
took  several  years  to  grow  back  to  the  old  record;  but  from  that  time  on  the 
number  increased  steadily  until  we  now  have  entering  classes  of  more  than  one 
thousand  students. 

Although  Cornell  is  one  of  the  richest  of  universities,  yet  its  great  handicap 
has  always  been  lack  of  money. 

There  are  at  Cornell  so  many  different  departments  of  education,  and  so 
many  courses  of  study,  that  it  requires  extra  buildings,  equipment  and  professors. 

Cornell  has  realized  in  all  over  $5,000,000  from  the  sale  of  its  Western  lands, 
and  has  besides  received  large  gifts  of  buildings  and  money,  but  needs  more. 

The  requirements  for  admission  have  been  raised  from  time  to  time,  and 
that  has  kept  the  number  of  students  down  to  her  resources  to  provide  for  them. 

Several  brilliant  young  professors  left  Cornell  in  the  early  days  because  they 
were  offered  larger  salaries  by  other  universities. 

The  following  lines  show  the  state  of  affairs: 

"We  see  new  buildings  day  by  day 
In  beauty  skyward  rising, 
And  our  professors  haste  away 
In  manner  most  surprising 
To  other  chairs,  with  higher  pay, 
Than  here  they're  realizing. 

The  lack  of  funds  affects  us  sore — 
Although  of  buildings  most  a  score 
We  are  the  proud  possessors, 
Yet  we  at  least  must  need  profess 
We  likewise  need  professors. 

But  our  trustees  most  decently 
Have  risen  to  the  occasion 
And  recommend  recently 
An  all-round  salary-raising. 

Not  slow  to  see  the  fallacy 
They're  just  as  quick  to  stop  it; 
This  most  short-sighted  policy, 
We're  glad  they  mean  to  drop  it. 

We  need  the  buildings  badly, 
And  welcome  them  most  gladly — 
Then  pause  and  ponder  sadly 
That  building  buildings  without  Profs, 
Is  building  without  profit." 

— R.  J.  K. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xxix 

The  "Dark  Days"  financially  for  Cornell  were  the  seven  years  from  1873  to 
1880. 

In  recent  years  many  professors,  especially  in  engineering  and  architecture, 
have  left  Cornell  to  engage  in  private  business,  tempted  by  higher  salaries,  and 
a  chance  to  make  more  money  as  principals,  and  to  take  an  active  part  in  the 
affairs  of  the  world  outside  of  college  walls. 

There  have  been  many  grave  problems  to  solve,  particularly  how  to  keep 
down  the  financial  deficit,  which  formerly  appeared  almost  annually.  The 
story  is  told  in  the  following  lines: 

"I  am  musing,  softly  musing,  in  my  quiet  little  den, 
Erecting  airy  castles  and  comparing  Now  with  Then, — 
The  Then  of  bitter  struggle,  with  every  omen  ill, 
When  Andrew  D.  was  Prexy  and  Cornell  was  Cascadill; 
And  I  smile  and  idly  wonder  what  those  old  boys  would  say 
Of  what  we  call  the  problems  we  are  up  against  to-day." 

"For  though  our  yearly  income  is  millions,  more  or  less, — 
Something  more  than  J.  P.  Morgan  makes  on  rainy  days,  I  guess, — 
The  Trustees  and  the  Faculty  are  ever  in  despair 
To  see  their  fondest  projects  dissolving  into  air; 
And  Prexy  frets  and  worries  till  his  heart  is  sad  and  sore 
To  hear  the  hungry  'Lupus'  come  a-scratching  at  the  door." 

"I  am  musing  on  the  changes  that  thirty  years  have  brought, 
And  the  reverential  lessons  those  changes  should  have  taught; 
For  the  things  we  call  essentials,  to  those  old  boys  would  seem 
The  evanescent  fancies  of  a  dreamer's  idle  dream; 
Yet  the  seeds  by  them  were  planted,  and  by  others  tended  well, 
Till  now  the  fruit  has  ripened  in  our  glorious  Cornell." 

— F.  A.  N. 

THE  QUARTER  CENTENNIAL  CELEBRATION 

In  1893,  the  exact  dates  were  October  6th,  7th,  and  8th,  there  was  a  large 
"Home-Coming"  of  students  and  other  friends  of  Cornell  for  a  quiet  celebration 
of  the  25th  anniversary  of  its  opening.  The  orator  of  the  occasion,  Chauncey 
M.  Depew,  paid  a  glorious  tribute  to  the  noble  character  of  Ezra  Cornell,  and 
complimented  the  University  on  its  grand  success.  There  were  over  1,700  stu- 
dents then  in  regular  attendance. 

To  one  then  present,  whose  memory  could  compare  that  day  with  the  past, 
the  contrast  was  startling.  The  valley  was  as  beautiful  in  the  past  as  at  this 
time,  but  the  hills,  four  hundred  feet  above  it,  that  now  forms  the  Campus, 
were  bleak  and  uninviting.  Now,  the  rough  hills  and  fields  with  their  architec- 
turally poor  buildings,  had  become  a  beautiful  park,  bounded  by  beautiful  glens, 
with  great  elms  shadowing  the  lawns,  decorated  with  beds  of  flowers,  and  screened 
by  fine  shrubbery,  with  many  pleasant  walks  and  drives.  To  use  a  commercial

term  the  "Advance  Agent  of  Prosperity"  had  arrived  at  Cornell  and  forever 
since  he  has  dwelt  with  us,  as  shown  by  the  great  buildings  and  growing  endow- 
ments. 

CO-EDUCATION 

Co-education  at  Cornell  has  been  weighed — and  not  found  wanting. 

Mrs.  Stanford  said  that  her  husband  founded  Leland  Stanford,  Jr.  Univer- 
sity primarily  as  a  college  for  men,  and  that  not  more  than  one-third  of  its  stu- 
dents should  be  women. 

Syracuse  University  has  300  more  women  than  men  students. 

The  proportion  of  women  to  men  students  at  Cornell  will  probably  never 
be  any  greater  than  at  present,  because  of  the  large  number  of  technical  courses 
like  engineering,  almost  exclusively  for  men;  and  also,  the  veterinary  course, 
and  the  agricultural  courses,  except  in  the  department  of  Home  Economics. 

Women  have  no  cause  to  complain  of  the  accommodations  provided  for 
them  at  Cornell,  for  almost  from  the  beginning  they  had  Sage  College  and  now 
Prudence  Risley  Hall,  two  of  the  finest  women's  dormitories  in  the  country, 
while  the  men  had  no  college  dormitories,  except  the  old,  badly  arranged  Cas- 
cadilla  Building,  and  for  a  few  years,  Morrill  and  White  Halls;  though,  of  course, 
the  men,  or  some  of  the  most  fortunate  financially,  had  fraternity  lodges,  but 
they  were  maintained  by  private  enterprise  and  capital. 

Presidents  White,  Adams  and  Schurman  were  ever  staunch  advocates  of 
co-education. 

There  was  bitter  opposition,  among  the  alumni  and  undergraduates,  in  the 
early  days,  to  co-education.  This  opposition  was  due  to  many  causes,  though 
no  one  could  furnish  a  satisfactory  "Bill  of  Particulars/' 

However,  the  girls  were  welcome,  and  they  exercised  a  refining  influence 
over  the  men  in  class  room  and  elsewhere.  Besides  their  scholarship  was  very 
high,  in  fact  averaged  higher  than  the  men — a  fact  which  was  very  gratifying 
not  only  to  themselves  personally,  but  to  their  teachers  and  the  other  friends 
of  co-education,  and  that  made  them  all  the  more  welcome. 

Moreover,  co-education  has  come  to  stay  at  Cornell,  and  everybody  might 
as  well  look  and  act  pleasant  about  it. 

President  William  R.  Harper  of  Chicago  University,  devised  the  method  of 
segregation  to  stop  the  girls  from  the  West  from  going  to  the  Eastern  women's 
colleges. 

"I  want  to  have  girls  educated  in  the  university  as  well  as  boys,  so  that  they 
may  have  the  same  opportunity  to  become  wise  and  useful  to  society  that  the 
boys  have." 

— EZRA  CORNELL.

"As  to  the  question  of  sex,  I  have  little  doubt  that  within  a  few  years  the 
experiment  desired  will  be  tried  in  some  of  our  largest  universities.  There  are 
many  reasons  for  expecting  its  success.  *  *  *  * 

Speaking  entirely  for  myself,  I  would  say  that  I  am  perfectly  willing  to  under- 
take the  experiment  as  soon  as  it  shall  be  possible  to  do  so,  but  no  fair-minded 
man  or  woman  can  ask  us  to  undertake  it  now,  as  it  is  with  the  utmost  difficulty 
that  we  are  ready  to  receive  young  men.  *  *  *  * 

I  trust  the  time  will  soon  come  when  we  can  do  more." 

— FROM  PRESIDENT  WHITE'S  INAUGURAL  ADDRESS. 

"When  you  are  ready  to  carry  out  the  idea  of  educating  young  women  as 
thoroughly  as  young  men,  I  will  provide  the  endowment  to  enable  you  to  do  so." 

— HENRY  W.  SAGE. 

In  the  meantime  one  solitary  woman  student,  Miss  Emma  Sheffield  Eastman, 
who  had  attended  lectures  in  the  University,  was  formally  admitted,  consti- 
tuting the  first  female  student,  although  Mrs.  Jennie  Spencer  had  presented 
herself  as  early  as  September,  1870,  with  a  certificate  entitling  her  to  a  State 
scholarship,  and  passed  with  credit  the  additional  examinations  required. 

Henry  W.  Sage  built  and  endowed  the  Sage  College  for  a  house  for  women 
students.  The  corner-stone  of  this  structure  was  laid  March  15,  1873. 

"I  lay  this  corner-stone,  in  faith 
That  structure  fair  and  good 
Shall  from  it  rise,  and  thenceforth  come 
True  Christian  womanhood." 

— MRS.  HENRY  W.  SAGE. 

The  college  was  formally  opened  for  the  admission  of  women  at  the  opening 
of  the  faU  term,  of  1874. 

The  proportion  of  women  students  during  the  first  years  of  the  University 
was  about  one-tenth  of  the  entire  number  of  students.  Since  then  it  has  very 
greatly  increased. 

The  Cornellian  of  1869  has  the  following  editorial  on  Co-Education : 

"The  Woman's  Rights  monomaniacs  are  attempting  to  mislead  the  public 
into  the  belief  that  female  students  are  to  be  admitted  here.  The  foundation  of 
the  rumor  probably  exists  only  in  the  imagination  of  some  enthusiast,  who, 
thinking  that  the  thing  ought  to  be  so,  unhesitatingly  sets  up  the  cry  that  it 
is  so.  The  remark  attributed  to  Mr.  Cornell  in  reply  to  two  young  ladies  can 
have  no  foundation,  for  it  has  been  met  with  an  authoratitative  denial.  We 
rejoice  at  this,  and  we  sincerely  trust  that  Cornell  University  will  never  come 
to  be  ranked  and  classed  among  the  Oberlins  of  America." 

The  Cornellian  of  1872  records  the  gift  of  Sage  College  and  its  endowment 
with  the  sigh,  sic  transit  gloria. 


xxxii  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

The  Cornellian  of  1875-6,  commenting  on  the  last  mentioned  editorial,  says: 

"How  philosophically  the  writer  submits  to  the  inevitable,  and  what  a  contrast 
between  this  and  former  editorial  references  to  the  same  vexing  topic." 

The  reasons  the  Cornell  woman  gives  for  valuing  the  College  training  may 
be  summarized  as  follows: 

It  has  increased  her  usefulness. 

It  has  improved  her  health. 

It  has  added  to  her  happiness. 

It  enables  her  better  to  adapt  herself  to  her  circumstances. 

Here  is  one  for  the  irreconcilables : 

"Do  you  growl  against  Co-education  ? 
Does  your  prejudice  make  you  rebel  ? 
We  be  of  one  blood,  Little  Brother; 
The  Co-eds  are  staunch  for  Cornell. 
Their  loyalty  never  will  fail 

Though  they  may  not  have  lungs  for  the  yell." 

— E.  N.  R. 
Here  is  a  "Dream"  come  true: 

"For  there  I  saw  some  Co-eds  fair 
'Bout  whom  I  dare  not  joke 
Upon  the  crew 

With  motion  true, 
Pulling  the  winning  stroke." 

— CORNELLIAN 

Here  is  a  little  protest: 

"Why  don't  you  make  the  Co-eds  drill  ? 

It  surely  is  not  right 
That  we  alone  should  work  and  swear 
And  sweat  for  your  delight. 

For  equal  rights  they  take  the  stand, — 

You've  heard  their  protests  shrill. 
Now  why  not  grant  the  just  demand 

And  let  the  Co-eds  drill  ?"

THE  MUSICAL  DEPARTMENT 

"Music  hath  charms  to  soothe  the  savage  breast." 

One  of  the  most  refining  influences  at  Cornell  is  music.  A  Glee  Club  was 
formed  in  the  early  years  and  the  idea  has  been  elaborated,  so  that  we  have 
combined  Glee,  Banjo,  and  Mandolin  Clubs,  which  visit  some  of  the  larger 
cities,  giving  concerts,  under  the  patronage  of  the  local  Cornell  alumni. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xxxm 

A  few  years  ago  the  then  president  of  the  Glee  Club  invented  "Senior  Sing- 
ing," which  has  proved  very  popular;  for  several  evenings  before  Commence- 
ment, there  is  community,  student  singing  in  front  of  Goldwin  Smith  Hall  in 
the  quadrangle. 

The  Cornell  Cadet  Band,  under  instructor  P.  Conway,  attained  great  skill. 
In  the  Summer  School  vocational  music  is  taught. 

We  must  not  forget  the  great  pipe-organ,  the  second  largest  in  America, 
the  gift  of  President  White  and  friends,  which  stands  in  Bailey  Auditorium,

There  is  a  surpliced  choir  at  Sage  Chapel  services. 

There  is  an  annual  Musical  Festival  when  some  of  the  greatest  singers,  and 
some  famous  orchestra  are  heard  at  Cornell. 


THE  SUMMER  SCHOOL 

The  Summer  Session  is  mostly  for  teachers  and  for  those  students  who  desire 
to  make  up  studies  in  which  they  may  be  deficient. 

It  was  for  many  years  in  charge  of  Professor  Charles  De  Garmo,  but  in  recent 
years  it  has  been  under  the  supervision  of  Professor  George  P.  Bristol,  Director. 

Some  critic  found  fault  with  the  Summer  Students  for  singing  Alma  Mater, 
claiming  that  they  were  not  regular  students  and  had  no  right  to  sing  Cornell's 
sacred  hymn. 

The  Porto  Rican  students  one  summer  set  the  example  to  other  students, 
as  the  electric  cars  bore  them  away  home,  by  singing  patriotically: 

"My  Country,  'tis  of  Thee." 


THE  COLLEGE  OF  LAW 

"Ignorance  of  the  law  excuses  no  person." 

— LEGAL  MAXIM. 
The  Cornell  Law  School  was  founded  in  1887.    It  has  paid  its  own  way. 

The  money  which  built  its  home  was  intended  for  the  College  of  Agriculture, 
but  as  a  witty  professor  of  law  said  the  lawyers  got  it  away  from  the  farmers. 

The  Law  School  was  opened  in  the  fall  of  1887,  with  Judge  Douglas  Board- 
man  as  Dean,  and  Charles  A.  Collin,  Francis  M.  Burdick  and  Harry  B.  Hutchins 
as  Professors  of  Law,  and  Hutchins,  Associate  Dean.  To  these  were  added  Moses 
Coit  Tyler  and  Herbert  Tuttle  of  the  University  Faculty.  There  were  also 
several  special  lecturers. 

There  was  a  large  attendance  the  first  year  and  the  number  of  students  has 
gradually  increased.

The  school  could  not  fail  to  become  a  success  from  the  ability  of  the  men 
who  have  directed  it.  The  instruction  combines  the  so-called  "Dwight  Method" 
and  the  case  method.  The  course  requires  three  years  of  study. 

Its  graduates  have  taken  high  rank  in  the  profession  and  many  of  them 
have  been  elevated  to  the  bench. 

Judge  Boardman  announced  his  appointment  as  Dean  to  the  assembled 
alumni,  at  the  first  University  banquet,  in  a  humorous  after-dinner  speech. 
He  said  that  when  they  built  a  sailing-ship  in  the  olden  time,  they  carved  out 
of  wood  a  figurehead,  and  placed  it  at  the  bow,  and,  "Now,"  said  he,  "the  trus- 
tees have  chosen  for  a  figurehead  a  boardman." 

He  was  succeeded  by  Judge  Francis  M.  Finch  of  the  New  York  Court  of 
Appeals.  Then  came  a  brilliant  young  teacher,  Ernest  W.  Huffcut,  '84,  as  Dean. 

He  was  succeeded  by  Dean  Frank  Irvine,  '80,  of  the  New  York  State  Public 
Service  Commission.  While  serving  in  this  latter  office  his  duties  as  Dean  have 
been  assumed  by  Professor  Edwin  H.  Woodruff,  '82,  as  Acting  Dean,  who  was 
Acting  Professor  of  Law  at  Leland  Stanford,  Jr.  University  before  joining  the 
Cornell  Law  Faculty.  The  last  named  has  been  several  times  called  upon  to 
preside  at  political  mass-meetings  of  the  Democratic  party,  and  always  makes 
a  witty  speech.  On  one  occasion,  a  prominent  public  office-holder  of  the  State, 
who  heard  him,  remarked  privately  to  some  friends,  bearing  in  mind  his  youthful 
appearance:  "Your  Professor  Woodruff  is  a  coming  man."  "Sir,"  said  one  of 
his  hearers,  "He  has  already  arrived." 

The  Cornell  Law  Faculty  has  never  been  partial  to  Ithaca  lawyers  in  choos- 
ing professors,  though  Professors  Francis  M.  Finch,  William  A.  Finch  and  Edwin 
H.  Woodruff  are  notable  exceptions.  Elmira  is  the  "Happy  Hunting-Ground" 
when  there  is  a  vacancy  hi  the  Law  Faculty,  and  the  authorities  have  always 
done  well  by  going  there. 

Professor  Woodruff  is  an  old,  though  comparatively  young,  Ithaca  boy 
whose  career  has  been  watched  by  many  old  friends  with  pleasure.  While  at 
Stanford  he  told  some  Eastern  friends  that  when  he  felt  lonesome  he  would 
rush  out  and  kill  a  bear  or  an  Indian.  Professor  Woodruff  studies  and  teaches 
Domestic  Relations — but  remains  unmarried. 

The  Cornell  Law  School  now  requires  at  least  one  year  of  college  literary 
study  as  a  requirement  for  admission. 

The  Professors  in  the  College  of  Law  have  been:  Charles  A.  Collin,  1887-95; 
Francis  M.  Burdick,  1887-91;  Harry  B.  Hutchins,  1889-95;  Charles  E.  Hughes, 
1891-3;  Ernest  W.  Huffcut,  1893-1907;  William  A.  Finch,  1892-13;  Francis 
M.  Finch,  1895-03;  Charles  R.  Pratt;  Henry  W.  Harden,  1895-6;  Frank  Irvine, 
since  1901;  Edwin  H.  Woodruff,  since  1896;  Alfred  Hayes,  since  1907;  William 
L.  Drew,  1904-14;  C.  L.  Williams,  1913-14;  C.  Tracy  Stagg  and  George  G.  Bogart. 

Among  the  noted  Lecturers  in  the  College  of  Law  have  been:  Daniel  H. 
Chamberlain,  John  W.  Foster,  Charles  E.  Hughes,  Alfred  C.  Coxe,  and  William 
H.  Taft.

The  Cornell  law  library  is  large,  and  includes  the  private  library  of  the  late 
Nathaniel  C.  Moak,  of  Albany,  which  was  presented  by  the  widow  and  daughter 
of  the  first  dean. 

The  following  is  addressed  to  Leland  Stanford,  Jr.  University : 

"You  may  boast  of  your  millions  of  dollars  to  spare,

THE  NEW  YORK  STATE  COLLEGE  OF  AGRICULTURE 

"Way  Down  on  the  Cornell  Farm." 
This  little  song  used  to  cause  a  smile,  but  it  is  different  now. 

When  the  main  building  of  the  College  of  Agriculture  was  dedicated,  Presi- 
dent White  predicted  that  the  participation  of  the  State  in  providing  Agri- 
cultural buildings  was  an  event  which  marked  an  epoch  in  the  history  of  Cornell. 

Scientific  farming  has  caused  a  revolution  in  farm  work.  Rural  life  is  now 
more  attractive  by  reason  of  free-mail  delivery,  the  telephone,  the  daily  news- 
paper, good  roads  and  the  electric  cars. 

The  tuition  is  free  to  residents  of  the  State  of  New  York. 

There  is  a  short  Winter  Course  of  twelve  weeks.  The  students  in  the  last- 
named  course  are  called  "Short-Horns." 

The  "Farmers'  Week,"  in  February  of  each  year,  is  a  popular  affair  at  Cor- 
nell, and  brings  3,500  visitors  to  the  University,  for  lectures  and  other  enter- 
tainment. 

Professor  Martha  Van  Rensselaer  introduced  the  Home  Economics  course, 
which  is  very  popular,  and  furnishes  the  farmers  daughters  with  a  practical 
education  in  Domestic  Science,  free  of  tuition.  In  connection  with  this  depart- 
ment there  is  a  modern  Cafeteria,  where  pure  food  properly  cooked  is  provided 
at  a  nominal  price. 

"Hark,  hark,  the  dogs  do  bark, 
The  Short  Horns  are  coming  to  town; 
Some  in  socks,  and  some  in  frocks, 
And  some  in  hand-me-downs."

DEAN  LIBERTY  HYDE  BAILEY 

"There  is  properly  no  history,  but  only  biography." 

— EMERSON. 

He  led  in  the  movement  to  raise  farming  to  the  dignity  of  a  profession,  by 
ably  helping  to  induce  the  State  of  New  York  to  appropriate  money  for  build- 
ings for  a  State  College  of  Agriculture  at  Cornell. 

Professor  Bailey  is  a  great  leader  of  the  farmers.  President  Theodore  Roose- 
velt appointed  him  Chairman  of1  the  Commission  on  Country  Life.  He  in- 
augurated the  "Community  Idea"  for  self-help  and  social  improvement  among 
the  fanners.  He  was  the  editor  for  several  years  of  Country  Life  in  America 
Magazine.  He  has  written  a  large  number  of  books  on  Agriculture.  He  is  now 
engaged  in  literary  work. 

THE  STATE  VETERINARY  COLLEGE 

A  course  in  Veterinary  Science  was  provided  from  the  beginning  of  the  Uni- 
versity. Many  of  its  graduates  have  become  eminent  in  U.  S.  Government 
employ.

The  State  under  the  lead  of  Governor  Flower  recognized  the  need  of  help 
for  suffering  dumb  animals  and  provided  buildings  and  apparatus  for  the  study 
and  teaching  of  this  branch  of  medicine.  The  tuition  is  free  to  students  resident 
in  the  State  of  New  York. 

James  Law  was  Professor  of  Veterinary  Medicine  and  Surgery,  1868-96; 
Dean  of  the  Faculty  of  Veterinary  Medicine,  1896-1911;  Professor  of  Principles 
and  Practice  of  Veterinary  Medicine,  Veterinary  Sanitary  Science  and  Veter- 
inary Therapeutics,  1896-1911;  Director  of  the  New  York  State  Veterinary 
College,  Cornell,  1896-1911. 

Veranus  Alva  Moore,  '87,  has  been  Professor  of  Comparative  Pathology, 
Bacteriology  and  Meat  Inspection,  since  1896.  He  succeeded  Dr.  James  Law 
as  Dean  of  the  New  York  State  Veterinary  College,  in  1911  and  is  the  second 
and  present  Dean. 

Professor  Pierre  A.  Fish,  '90,  was  Assistant  Professor  of  Veterinary  Physiology, 
Materia  Medica  and  Pharmacy,  1896-'02;  Secretary  of  Faculty  of  Vet.  Med. 
1896;  Professor  of  Veterinary  Physiology  and  Pharmacology,  since  1902. 

Walter  Long  Williams  has  been  Professor  of  Principles  and  Practice  of  Vet- 
erinary Surgery,  Obstetric  Zootechny  and  Jurisprudence,  since  1896. 

Howard  Jay  Milks,  '04,  has  been  Assistant  Professor  of  Materia  Medica  for 
several  years. 

There  are  several  more  prominent  professors  in^this  department  whose 
names  can  not  be  now  recalled. 

DR.  JAMES  LAW 

He  was  once  called  by  the  enemies  of  Cornell  the  "Horse  Doctor"  from 
Edinburgh,  but  he  can  now  contentedly  smile,  for  he  has  helped  greatly  to  raise 
his  calling,  so  that  it  is  now  recognized  as  a  profession.  His  Veterinary  medical 
books  are  very  popular  among  the  farmers  and  lovers  of  the  horse. 

THE  MILITARY  DEPARTMENT 

"When  at  first  we  saw  the  Major, 
All  hi  scarlet  and  in  blue, 
Ev'ry  freshman  had  a  vision 
That  he'd  yet  be  Major  too." 

— J.  B.  POTTER,  74. 

There  was  considerable  concern  at  first  about  how  to  interpret  the  clause 
of  the  charter  requiring  military  drill. 

Some  suggested  that  they  have  a  professor  detailed  from  West  Point  to  give 
lectures,  but  President  White  believed  that  we  should  heartily  enter  into  the 
spirit  of  the  thing,  and  fulfil  our  whole  duty  in  the  premises.  Henry  W.  Sage 
told  President  White:  "It  is  the  best  thing  we  have  at  Cornell."  The  Presi- 
dent did  not  fully  agree  with  him,  but  thought  that  the  discipline  and  setting- 
up  of  the  students  was  very  valuable.

Under  the  preparedness  programme  of  the  country  we  ought  to  be  able  to 
have  a  greatly  increased  interest  in  military  affairs  at  Cornell. 

If  U.  S.  Senator  A.  B.  Cummings'  bill  becomes  a  law,  Cornell  ought  to  be 
one  of  the  eight  military  colleges  of  his  proposed  measure.  The  McKellar  bill 
in  the  lower  House  of  Congress  also  provides  for  additional  military  schools  in 
all  the  states. 

The  new  armory  is  the  largest  State  armory  in  New  York.  Gen.  Leonard 
Wood,  Senior  Major  General  U.  S.  A.,  recommended  recently  before  the  Con- 
gressional committee  on  Military  Affairs,  that  two  more  U.  S.  Army  officers 
be  detailed  to  Cornell  University,  making  one  officer  for  each  battalion. 

Willard  D.  Straight,  '01,  has  given  money  for  out-door  drill  in  vacation. 

The  graduates  of  this  department  include  about  a  dozen  Captains,  besides 
other  officers,  at  present  in  the  Regular  Army,  including  Gen.  Geo.  Bell,  '94. 

Maj.  Gen.  Mario  Garcia  Menocal,  '88,  and  Maj.  Winchester  D.  Osgood,  '92, 
aided  Cuba  in  her  struggle  for  freedom. 

Col.  Charles  S.  Francis,  '77,  and  Col.  Henry  W.  Sackett,  '75,  were  Aides-de- 
Camp  on  the  Governor's  Staff. 

The  first  officer  detailed  from  the  U.  S.  Army  as  Professor  of  Military  Science 
and  Tactics  and  Commandant  of  the  Cornell  Cadets,  was  Maj.  Joseph  H.  Whit- 
tlesey,  a  West  Pointer. 

Among  others,  afterwards,  were  Maj.  James  B.  Burbank,  who  after  leaving 
Cornell  was  Commandant  of  Governor's  Island  in  New  York  Harbor,  and  Cap- 
tain Walter  S.  Schuyler,  since  Brigadier  General,  U.  S.  A. 

The  Professors  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics  have  been:  Joseph  Hotchkiss 
Whittlesey,  1868-70;  William  Edwards  Arnold,  (Assistant),  1869-73;  Junius 
Wilson  MacMurray,  1873-5;  William  Percy  Van  Ness,  1875-77,  1886-9,  1900-04; 
James  Brattle  Burbank,  1877-83;  Walter  Scribner  Schuyler,  1883-6,  1896-8; 
Herbert  Everett  Tutherly,  1889-92;  George  Bell,  '94,  1892-6;  Alexander  Bull 
Trowbridge,  in  charge  of  Military  Department,  1898;  Frank  Arthur  Barton,  '91, 
1904-8;  Ervin  Louis  Phillips,  '91,  1908-11;  William  E.  Gillmore,  1911-12;  Henry 
T.  Bull,  since  1912-15;  C.  F.  Thompson,  since  1915. 

There  will  be  two  classes  to  drill,  Freshman  and  Sophomore,  when  the  new 
armory  is  completed  and  ready  for  occupancy  in  September,  1916. 

Military  drill  in  the  early  years  was  not  regarded  with  favor  by  those  who 
took  part  but  in  recent  years  it  has  been  made  more  attractive. 

It  has  always  been  a  pleasure  to  welcome  back  to  Cornell  several  Cornell 
graduates  in  the  U.  S.  Army,  as  Commandants  of  the  Cornell  Cadets  and  Pro- 
fessors of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  particularly  Frank  A.  Barton,  '91,  and 
Ervin  Louis  Phillips,  '91.  Attempts  have  been  made  to  get  back  here  Captain 
Joseph  W.  Beacham,  '97,  an  old  Cornell  football  star.

ATHLETICS 

Cornell  first  came  into  notice  in  the  college  athletic  world  by  the  sweeping 
victories  of  its  crews  at  Saratoga  Lake  in  1875,  and  again  in  1876.  The  Inter- 
collegiate Rowing  Association,  under  whose  auspices  the  meet  was  conducted 
thereupon  burst  up — no  crews  cared  to  meet  Cornell.  The  defeated  crews,  in 
derision,  called  Cornellians  "Hayseeds,"  and  said  that  they  did  not  row  "sci- 
entifically." Cornell  used  the  "Git  Thar"  stroke. 

The  triumphal  arches,  the  parades,  the  music,  the  bon-fires,  the  fireworks, 
the  banquets  and  speeches  in  honor  of  the  returning  heroes,  were  like  those  over 
a  Roman  triumph.  And  the  town  went  as  wild  as  the  gown.  On  one  occasion, 
when  the  returning  crews  stopped  over  in  Syracuse  on  their  way  home  the  alumni 
there  paraded,  headed  by  a  band  playing:  "There'll  be  a  hot  time  in  the  old 
town  to-night." 

Charles  E.  Courtney,  for  many  years  the  Coach  of  the  crews,  affectionately 
called  the  "Old  Man,"  by  his  "Boys,"  is  deeply  enshrined  in  the  hearts  of  all 
Cornellians  for  his  loyalty  and  his  wonderfully  successful  training. 

Here  is  the  refrain  of  a  favorite  rowing  song: 

"Stroke,  stroke,  our  crew  is  at  the  start, 
Stroke,  stroke,  we  cheer  with  all  our  heart, 
Stroke,  stroke,  we  can  always  tell 
That  stroke,  stroke,  the  winner's  our  Cornell."

There  is  an  annual  regatta  on  Cayuga  Lake  at  Ithaca  in  May,  and  in  the 
following  month  of  June  on  the  Hudson  River  at  Poughkeepsie.  It  has  been 
decided  to  hold  the  June  races  on  Cayuga  Lake,  near  Ithaca,  commencing  in 
1916.  Later:  Poughkeepsie  for  1916  decided  on  since. 

"Eight  little  boys  in  blue,  lads, 
Eight  little  boys  in  blue 
Are  not  in  this  land,  with  the  requisite  sand 
To  tackle  a  Cornell  crew, 
For  well  do  these  boys  in  blue,  lads, 
Know  that  right  from  the  start 
These  men  in  their  shell  and  our  boys  from  Cornell 
Would  soon  have  drifted  apart."

Here  is  another: 

"  'Twas  on  a  sunny  Summer  morn 
By  Saratoga's  waters  born, 
That  of  our  rivals  hopes  the  knell 
First  rang  the  slogan  of  Cornell.

Cornell,  I  yell,  yell,  yell,  Cornell! 
The  ringing  cheers  the  echoes  swell, 
Till  answer  lake,  and  hill,  and  dell — 
Cornell,  I  yeU,  yell,  yell,  Cornell!' 

'Twas  on  a  Summer  evening  bright, 
That  Ithaca  made  day  of  night, 
And  from  its  rock-built  home,  the  bell 
Rang  welcome  back  to  old  Cornell." 

Here  is  another: 

"Well,  well,  well!  After  twenty  years! 

What  did  we  do!  The  same  old  thing." 
"So  we  sang  with  merry  voices  in  gay  Poughkeepsie  town, 
And  the  band  played  Alma  Mater,  as  the  sun  was  going  down; 
And  the  sky  was  blue  no  longer,  but  was  streaked  with  red  and  white, 
While  we  shouted  loud  the  promise  of  'A  Hot  Old  Town  To-night,' 
We  had  cashed  in  every  voucher  till  our  pockets  could  not  hold 
The  ripe,  rich  yellow  harvest  of  Yale  and  Harvard  gold. 

Refrain: 

Oh,  the  gold!  Oh,  the  gold! 

Oh,  the  bright  New  Haven  gold! 

Just  as  free  as  'twas  of  old, 

When  the  day  grew  dark  and  cold 

For  Eli's  scions  bold 

As  they  bit  the  dusty  mould, 

And  our  gallant  'Farmers'  rolled 

In  the  bright  New  Haven  gold, 

Gold,  gold,  gold,  gold,  gold,  gold,  gold! 

Since  that  pleasant  summer  evening  in  the  turbid  Husdon  town, 

When  we  showed  our  friends  from  Harvard  how  to  throw  old  Eli  down, 

We've  been  constantly  admonished  by  a  friendly  multitude 

To  appear  before  the  public  in  a  novel  attitude: 

They  believed  we  ought  to  quibble,  and  to  bicker  and  to  fight, 

Just  because  at  old  Poughkeepsie  there  was  nothing  else  in  sight. 

But  at  last  it  is  decided  in  the  grand  old  Cornell  way, — 

We  will  row  with  anybody,  anywhere,  and  any  day; 

We  will  travel  to  New  London,  not  quite  penniless,  I  trust, 

And  though  gambling  is  immoral,  if  you  must,  of  course  you  must. 

If  to  shake  it  in  our  faces  both  Yale  and  Harvard  join, 

It  will  be  our  sacred  duty  to  relieve  them  of  their  coin."

The  departure  of  the  Cornell  Crew  for  the  Henley  Races  in  England  took  place 
May  28,  1895,  and  there  was  a  big  turnout  by  both  citizens  and  students,  by 
organizations  and  individually. 

The  crew  victories  have  brought  many  new  students  to  Cornell,  who  other- 
wise would  have  attended  other  colleges. 

In  football  Cornell  was  not  so  successful  for  several  years,  but  during  the  past 
season,  under  the  skillful  coaching  of  Dr.  Albert  H.  Sharpe,  a  Yale  man,  and 
Daniel  A.  Reed,  '98,  and  Ray  Van  Orman,  '08,  "The  Big  Red  Team"  of  Cornell 
was  placed  in  the  front  rank  of  College  players.  The  superstitious  may  say  that 
"Touchdown,"  the  bear  mascot,  helped.  At  the  games,  one  of  the  favorite  songs 
is  as  follows: 

"Cheer  till  the  sound  wakes  the  blue  hills  around 
Make  the  scream  of  the  north  wind  yield 
To  the  strength  of  the  yell  from  the  men  of  Cornell, 
When  'The  Big  Red  Team'  takes  the  field. 
Three  thousand  strong  we  march,  march  along 
From  our  home  on  the  gray  rock  height, 
Oh!   the  vict'ry  is  sealed  when  the  team  takes  the  field, 
And  we  cheer  for  the  red  and  white. 

Refrain: 

See  them  plunging  down  to  the  goal 
See  the  ruddy  banners  stream, 
Hear  the  crashing  echoes  roll, 
As  we  cheer  for  'The  Big  Red  Team.'  " 

Music  BY  C.  E.  TOURISON  '06. 
WORDS  BY  R.  BERRY  '04. 
Here  is  another: 

"See,  the  Big  Red  Team  is  coming; 
Greet  them  with  a  hearty  yell. 
Show  your  loyalty  by  cheering; 
Show  your  love  for  old  Cornell." 

In  baseball  Cornell  always  did  well.  Among  the  popular  players  were  Harry 
L.  Taylor,  '88,  President  of  the  National  League,  and  Hugh  Jennings,  '04,  man- 
ager of  the  Detroit  "Tigers." 

John  F.  Moakley  has  been  for  several  years  past  the  trainer  of  the  track 
and  cross-country  teams,  which  under  his  skillful  training  have  won  many  notable 
victories. 

Tell  S.  Berna,  '12,  won  the  world's  record  cross-country  run  and  two-mile 
race.  John  Paul  Jones,  '13,  won  the  intercollegiate  and  world's  record  for  one- 
mile  dash:

"He  dashed  a  mile  right  straight  ahead 
For  Cornell  and  a  name, 
And  Fate  was  very  kind  to  him 
For  he  dashed  into  Fame."

Some  credit  towards  graduation  is  now  allowed  for  some  forms  of  athletics; 
ome  are  excused  from  military  drill  to  take  part  in  athletics. 

The  athletic  coaches  train  the  morals  too,  and  do  not  allow  intemperance. 

The  following  is  from  the  speech  of  Coach  John  F.  Moakley  before  the  Cornell 
Alumni  at  Buffalo  on  February  19th,  1916: 

"Cornell's  supremacy  in  intercollegiate  athletics  is  now  secure/7  Moakley 
told  them  at  the  start.  "She  has  no  rival  in  her  leadership.  She  stands  alone 
in  number  of  championships  won  and  has  been  the  pioneer  in  demanding  the  true 
sportsmanship  of  all  her  athletes  and  in  demanding  sane  methods  of  control  of 
her  athletics. 

"College  athletic  supremacy  is  not  secured  by  one  successful  season's  work, 
but  must  continue  over  a  number  of  years.  Our  record  since  1908  has  been  a 
succession  of  victories  unparalleled  in  the  history  of  college  athletics.  Our 
achievements  are  the  result  of  an  intelligent  system  of  management  and  of 
coaching  devoid  of  the  usual  rah,  rah  stuff,  pictured  so  frequently  as  a  necessary 
adjunct  to  a  college  athletic  team. 

"At  Cornell  it  is  considered  bad  form  not  to  try  for  some  one  of  the  many 
varsity,  class  and  intercollege  teams,  with  the  result  that  3,000  students  are 
thereby  kept  in  fine  physical  condition.  Athletics  for  the  many,  and  not  for  the 
few  is  the  aim  of  all  our  coaches. 

"The  coaches  at  Ithaca  watch  closely  the  University  work  of  the  men  in 
their  squads  and  are  able  to  keep  in  close  touch  with  that  work  through  weekly 
reports  sent  to  them  by  the  faculty.  Woe  to  the  youth  who  fails  to  keep  up  in 
his  studies! 

"Buffalo  now  has  two  worthy  representatives  on  Cornell  varsity  teams. 
They  are  Fred  Potter,  '16,  and  Paul  Miller,  '18.  Potter  not  only  is  a  wonderful 
athlete,  but  is  also  one  of  Cornell's  most  brilliant  students  in  electrical  engineer- 
ing, having  recently  been  elected  to  Tau  Beta  Pi,  the  honor  engineering  society. 
I  rank  him  with  John  Paul  Jones  and  Berna  as  the  greatest  of  all  Cornell  dis- 
tance runners  and  one  of  America's  best. 

"Paul  Miller  has  a  bright  outlook  for  a  niche  in  Cornell's  athletic  hall  of  fame 
and  will,  without  doubt,  be  a  member  of  the  All-American  eleven  of  next  year. 
I  also  expect  to  see  him  an  intercollegiate  point  winner  in  the  hammer  throw, 
as  his  work  last  year  was  full  of  promise." 

Concluding,  Coach  Moakley  paid  a  high  tribute  to  the  late  Henry  Schoell- 
kopf .  He  spoke  of  him  as  one  of  the  finest  characters  he  had  ever  known  and  as 
a  potent  factor  in  developing  the  present  Cornell  spirit.

"He  may  not  have  been  in  command, 
But  he  fought  to  beat  the  band." 

— FRANCIS  M.  WILSON'S  TRIBUTE  TO  ADMIRAL  SCHLEY. 

Charles  E.  Courtney  may  not  be  a  member  of  the  Faculty — but  they  are  now 
allowing  some  credit  for  athletics  towards  graduation. 

"Cornell's  bold  crews  are  widely  known 
On  every  land  and  shore; 
Unbeaten  still,  their  clarion  shout 
Rings  proudly  out  once  more. 
The  secret  of  this  great  success 
No  student  but  can  tell; 
Each  day  they  learn  to  honor  more 
Ye  trainer  of  Cornell." 

— ANON. 

Charles  E.  Courtney's  unswerving  loyalty  to  Cornell  deserves  great  praise, 
for  although  many  offers  have  been  made  to  him  to  go  elsewhere,  yet  he  has 
refused  all,  though  many  of  them  paid  a  better  salary  than  the  position  he  now 
fills.  The  almost  unbroken  series  of  vistories  of  the  Cornell  oarsmen  are  the 
result  of  his  coaching. 

His  knowledge  of  the  art  of  rowing,  his  skill  in  selecting  good  "timber"  for 
a  crew,  his  cleverness  in  properly  rigging  a  boat  and  seating  each  man,  and  his 
unselfish  devotion  to  the  oarsmen  who  are  under  his  care,  win  for  him  their  respect 
and  complete  obedience.  He  looks  closely  after  their  physical  training  and  diet. 

He  has  been  coach  of  the  crews  since  1883.  He  takes  as  much  delight  in  train- 
ing the  young  men  of  Cornell  how  to  row  to  victory  as  he  did  when  he  himself 
was  whining. 

They  are  called  Courtney's  "pets"  and  they  idolize  him.  Their  favorite  name 
for  him  is  the  "Old  Man." 

He  has  taught  them  a  stroke  which  is  called  the  Courtney  and  Cornell  stroke 
by  the  public,  and  by  their  enthusiastic  friends  the  "Git  Thar"  stroke.  It  has 
won  for  them  nearly  every  race  that  they  have  rowed.  Others  have  tried  to 
imitate  it,  but  unsuccessfully. 

"Who  wins  the  races  for  Cornell  ?" 

The  fair  young  lady  said. 
"Why  Courtney  is  the  man," 

Replied  the  wise  Co-ed. 

"He  picks  the  crew  so  wisely," 
And  trains  the  hand  and  head. 
He's  a  wonder  and  a  winner." 
The  fair  young  lady  said.

MINOR  SPORTS  AND  PASTIMES 

Beebe  Lake  is  the  rendezvous  of  the  students  in  winter,  when  it  is  covered 
with  ice,  for  skating.  There  on  its  bank  is  located  the  toboggan  slide.  One  of 
the  trustees  said  that  he  rode  down  very  fast  once — and  that  was  enough  for 
him. 

Then  there  is  canoeing.  The  unmarked  graves  of  many  brave,  but  fool-hardy 
Cornell  victims,  are  at  the  bottom  of  Cayuga  Lake. 

Riding  down  hill  has  been  prohibited  on  Buffalo  Street  hill. 
The  following  is  an  old  coasting  song: 

"Merrily  gliding, 

Rapidly  sliding, 
Smooth  are  the  runners  and  white  is  the  snow. 

Swift  as  an  arrow, 

Our  sled  so  narrow, 
Carries  us  gaily  adown  Buffalo. 

Carefully  steering, 

Dangers  not  fearing, 
Guardian  stars  shining  down  through  the  night. 

Hold  on  tightly, 

While  the  sled  lightly 
Leaps  like  a  deer  in  its  perilous  flight. 

Laughter  is  ringing, 

Voices  are  singing, 
Life  is  worth  living,  and  happy  each  face. 

Care  for  the  morrow, 

Trouble  and  sorrow, 
Leaving  behind  in  the  wild  merry  race."

CORNELL'S  DAVID  HARUMS 

There  have  been  a  great  many  of  them  but  the  public  hears  very  little  about 
them.  They  are  too  modest  to  publish  their  names  in  the  papers. 

Professor  Goldwin  Smith  helped  many  a  poor  student  through  Cornell. 
Professor  James  E.  Oliver  was  another  friend  in  need  and  a  friend  indeed. 
Professor  William  A.  Finch,  '80,  was  another  good  friend  of  poor  students. 

There  are  many  others,  some  now  living,  who  would  not  care  to  have  their 
names  in  print,  but  we  have  their  names  and  record,  and  some  day,  after  they 
are  gone,  they  will  be  given  due  credit. 

The  late  Horace  I.  Smith,  of  Ithaca,  is  numbered  among  them  by  the  pro- 
visions of  his  will. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  XLV 

Frederick  W.  Guiteau  gave  $175,000  for  a  students  loan  fund. 

Mr.  P.  L.  Nunn,  head  of  the  Telluride  Power  Company,  engineers,  of  Provo, 
Utah,  which  builds  many  great  water-power  dams  in  the  West,  built  and  en- 
dowed a  few  years  ago,  the  Telluride  Club  Building  at  Cornell.  It  accommodates 
about  30  or  40  students,  who  are  educated,  clothed  and  boarded  and  otherwise 
provided  for,  till  graduation,  after  which  time  they  enter  the  employ  of  the  firm. 


TOWN  AND  GOWN 

At  the  time  of  the  opening  of  the  University,  Ezra  Cornell  asked  the  old* 
conservative  and  wealthy  families  of  Ithaca  to  receive  into  their  homes  students 
as  roomers  or  boarders,  or  both.  There  were  accommodations  for  only  sixty 
students  in  Morrill  Hall,  and  Cascadilla  Building  was  occupied  for  the  most 
part  by  professors  and  their  families.  The  modern  student  boarding-house 
had  not  yet  appeared. 

Ithacans  always  took  a  lively  interest  in  Cornell  affairs;  they  always  joined 
in  our  joys  and  sorrows.  When  a  fund  had  to  be  raised  to  send  a  crew  away 
the  citizens  always  "chipped  in"  generously.  They  applauded,  if  Cornell  won; 
and  took  defeat  philosophically,  hoping  for  a  brighter  day.  They  subscribed 
one-third  of  the  sum  to  purchase  the  Cascadilla  Building  for  the  University, 
and  they  voted  to  bond  the  town  to  bring  railroads  to  Cornell  and  Ithaca,  and 
it  is  only  recently  that  the  last  bond  was  paid  off;  and  that  is  the  reason  why 
Ithaca  has  not  had  the  money  to  build  a  new  City  Hall,  or  Tompkins  County 
to  build  a  new  Court  House  and  County  Jail. 

When  the  Cornell  crew  departed  for  Henley,  England,  the  citizens  of  Ithaca 
helped  to  raise  the  fund  to  send  them,  the  volunteer  firemen  paraded,  and  the 
fire  and  church  bells  rang  out  a  "God  speed"  to  cheer  them  on  their  way. 

The  Town  and  Gown  Club  was  organized  to  foster  a  friendly  understanding 
and  communication  between  citizens  and  professors  and  other  University  officers. 

The  people  of  Ithaca  have  always  thought  well  and  favorably  of  Cornell 
University.  They  realize  that  it  is  doing  a  great  work  for  humanity,  besides 
it  greatly  benefits  them  materially,  as  witness  the  large  amount  of  money  which 
teachers,  students  and  visitors  put  into  circulation,  and  furthermore,  many  of 
Ithaca's  fair  daughters  marry  students. 


CORNELLIANS  IN  THE  FIRST,  SECOND  AND 
THIRD  GENERATIONS 

The  early  Cornell  alumni  who  married  and  had  children  sent  them  to  Alma 
Mater.  Doctor  Tarbell,  '72,  a  Union  volunteer  officer  in  the  Civil  War,  who 
entered  Cornell  in  1868,  married  early  and  had  the  first  Cornell  grandson,  George 
Schuyler  Tarbell,  '91,  who  married  early  and  before  his  admission  to  the  bar, 
and  his  daughter,  Dorothy  Tarbell,  has  been  in  Cornell  three  years,  and  will 
graduate  in  1916.  Clarence  D.  Tarbell,  special  student,  1903-6  is  another  son 
of  D.  Tarbell.  The  home  of  all,  Ithaca. 


XL  vi  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

Another  Ithaca  family  has  the  distinction  of  having  sent  four  children  to 
Cornell,  namely:  Walter  Woodburn  Hyde,  '93,  Howard  Elmer  Hyde,  '00,  Lulu 
Eloise  Hyde  '89,  (who  married  Charles  Statton  Davis,  '89),  and  Roger  Davies 
Hyde,  '08. 

The  Mintz  family,  also  of  Ithaca,  has  sent  four  sons  to  Cornell,  namely: 
Harry  Benjamin  Mintz,  '98,  Aaron  Girard  Mintz,  '01,  Jay  Jerome  Mintz,  '07, 
and  Lawrence  Meyer  Mintz,  '11,  all  but  the  third  one  being  graduates  of  the 
Law  School. 

Rev.  Alfred  Kelly  Bates,  Princeton  '74,  Presbyterian,  of  Ithaca,  married 
and  had  six  children  at  Cornell,  namely:  James  Lawrence  Bates,  '03,  Alfred 
Kelly  Bates,  jr.,  '11,  Edward  Strong  Bates,  '13,  Naomi  H.  Bates,  '13,  Mary 
Seymour  Bates,  '16,  and  Gertrude  Strong  Bates,  '16.  His  daughter,  Janet  M. 
Bates  married  Harold  Fanning  Penney,  '10;  his  daughter,  Ethel  L.  Bates  mar- 
ried Martin  Buel  Tinker,  B.S.,  M.D.,  Lecturer  on  Surgery,  Cornell,  since  1903. 
Edward  S.  Bates,  '13,  was  Commodore  of  the  Cornell  Navy,  1913.  Gertrude 
S.  Bates,  '16  was  stroke  of  the  victorious  girls'  crew  in  1914  and  1915. 

The  Riley  family,  formerly  of  Ithaca,  had  five  daughters  who  married  Cor- 
nellians,  in  recent  years.  One  daughter  married  Professor  Asa  C.  King,  '99,  of 
Cornell. 

Judge  Marcus  Lyon  (Yale  '52),  of  Ithaca,  had  two  sons  at  Cornell,  namely: 
Philip  Schuyler  Lyon,  '89,  and  Newell  Lyon,  '97;  and  three  daughters  who 
married  Cornellians,  namely:  Lucy  Lyon,  who  married  Professor  Walter  Craig 
Kerr,  '79,  of  Cornell;  Laura  Lyon  who  married  Otis  Lincoln  Williams,  '88; 
and  Mary  Lyon  who  married  John  H.  Southworth,  '93. 

William  Cobb,  of  Spring  Mills  and  Ithaca,  sent  two  sons  to  Cornell:  Fordyce 
Allen  Cobb,  '93,  and  Herbert  Lawrence  Cobb,  '06.  Theodore  Cobb,  of  the  same 
places,  a  brother  of  William  Cobb,  sent  two  sons  to  Cornell:  William  Cobb,  '84, 
and  Howard  Cobb,  '95.  These  students  have  three  cousins,  who  are  brothers, 
and  former  Cornell  students,  registering  from  Andover,  N.  Y. :  Charles  Simeon 
Cobb,  '77,  Horace  Hamilton  Cobb,  '78,  and  Fred  Carlton  Cobb,  '80.  F.  A.  and 
Howard  Cobb  are  members  of  the  largest  law  firm  in  Ithaca,  (F.  A.)  Cobb,  (H.) 
Cobb,  (Peter  F.)  McAllister,  (A.  W.)  Feinberg,  and  (R.)  Heath,  all  Cornellians. 

The  Kent  family  of  Franklinville,  N.  Y.,  sent  three  sons  to  Cornell:  Clarence 
E.  Kent,  '97,  Willard  M.  Kent,  '98,  and  Ralph  S.  Kent,  '02. 


CHURCH  ATTENDANCE  AND  ACTIVITIES 

Sage  Chapel  is  nearly  always  well-filled  and  often  crowded,  and  occasionally 
too  small  for  the  number  who  desire  to  attend  preaching,  or  vesper  service,  and 
admission  is  usually  by  card. 

The  Ithaca  churches  are  well  attended  by  professors  and  students,  the  1st,  or 
Aurora  St.,  M.  E.  church  alone  having  over  600  student  members. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  XLVII 

In  the  early  days  of  the  University  there  were  an  unusually  large  number 
of  student  members  of  the  Protestant  Episcopal  church,  attracted  to  Cornell 
by  the  influence  of  the  Rev.  Dr.  William  D.  Wilson,  and  that  denomination 
has  always  been  largely  represented  among  the  students. 

Then  there  are  a  great  many  Presbyterians,  Roman  Catholics,  Congrega- 
tionalists,  Baptists,  and  members  of  other  religious  denominations. 

Some  of  the  churches,  at  the  beginning  of  each  academic  year,  in  the  Fall, 
give  a  meeting  for  the  purpose  of  giving  its  new  student-members  a  chance  to 
get  acquainted  with  each  other  and  with  the  older  members.  Most  of  the  Ithaca 
churches  have  pews  set  aside  for  student  visitors.  There  has  been  some  dis- 
cussion about  having  club  houses,  or  dormitories  for  various  religious  denomina- 
tions, to  be  established  by  the  churches,  but  nothing  very  definite  has  come  of 
this,  except  that  the  Episcopalians  have  a  Huntington  Club,  which  occupies 
Sheldon  Court,  a  private  dormitory,  which  is  to  become  the  property  of  the 
University  on  the  death  of  Mrs.  Sheldon. 


PROFESSOR  THOMAS  FREDERICK  CRANE 

He  was  not  only  a  member  of  the  early  faculty  and  an  active  professor  for 
a  great  many  years,  but  he  has  always  been  one  of  Ithaca's  most  popular  towns- 
men. His  reminiscences  of  the  early  days  of  the  University  and  Ithaca  are  very 
interesting.  His  executive  ability  has  been  proven  officially  by  his  unanimous 
selection  by  the  trustees  as  acting  president  on  two  occasions.  Professor  Crane 
was  thought  by  some  of  his  students  to  be  quite  strict  in  his  class-room,  but 
when  they  almost  invariably  passed  a  good  examination  under  him,  and  especially 
when  they  met  him  socially  and  were  put  at  ease  by  his  pleasant  manner,  the 
class-room  experience  was  quickly  forgotten.  Another  thing  that  endeared 
him  to  the  students  was  that  he  always  kept  his  heart  young  by  a  kindly  con- 
sideration for  the  feelings  of  others,  and  when  some  of  the  other  professors  in 
the  early  days  talked  harshly  about  the  crews  because  of  the  absence  of  their 
members  from  the  class-room  for  practice,  it  was  always  Professor  Crane  who 
stood  up  in  faculty  meetings  and  spoke  a  good  word  for  the  "Boys." 

He  has  often  presided  as  toast-master  at  University  alumni  banquets  and 
frequently  addresses  Cornell  alumni  gatherings  in  other  cities. 

He  said  on  one  occasion  that  after  teaching  students  in  the  early  days,  it 
was  with  feelings  of  great  pleasure  that  he  welcomed  their  sons  and  daughters 
to  Cornell.  He  also  said  that  it  was  with  mingled  feelings  that  he  witnessed 
football  contests  between  Cornell  and  Princeton,  his  Alma  Mater. 

He  resides  in  the  third  house  built  upon  the  Campus,  and  can  be  seen  almost 
any  pleasant  day  in  winter,  when  there  is  ice,  skating  on  Beebe  Lake. 

He  is  President  of  the  City  Hospital  Association  and  a  warden  of  St.  John's 
(P.  E.)  church.

JOURNALISM 

Cornell  has  a  great  many  alumni  who  are  distinguished  in  metropolitan 
journalism,  and  several  of  them  have  lectured  on  that  subject  at  Cornell.  James 
Brooks,  Professor  Brainard  G.  Smith  and  Professor  Willard  Fiske,  and  Charles 
E.  Fitch  also  lectured.  The  Cornell  periodicals  have  trained  many  undergraduates 
in  that  branch  of  education,  who  have  become  editors  after  leaving  college. 
If  some  one  would  give  the  money  to  found  a  School  of  Journalism,  the  trustees 
could  select  a  faculty  without  going  outside  of  the  Cornell  alumni. 

EARLY  LITERARY  AND  DEBATING  SOCIETIES 

In  the  early  days  the  undergraduates  formed  the  Philalathean,  Irving, 
Adelphi  and  Curtis  Literary  Societies.  They  met  soon  afterwards  in  the  room  in 
Morrill  Hall,  where  the  Registrar's  office  is  now.  These  societies  developed 
oratory  and  debate,  but  did  not  greatly  promote  social  life,  and  so,  as  at  other 
colleges,  they  were  finally  abandoned.  There  was  also  organized  the  Debat- 
ing Club. 

The  Cornell  Congress  has  been  in  existence  a  great  many  years.  It  met  in 
Deming  Hall,  "Down  Town,"  for  several  years  but  now  meets  in  Boardman  Hall. 
It  elects  a  President  of  the  United  States  (fictitious)  and  he  chooses  a  cabinet. 
The  President  of  the  U.  S.  (fictitious),  sends  in  a  "Message"  for  discussion  and 
action.  The  members  are  divided  into  political  groups. 

There  are  many  societies  and  clubs  formed  by  students  in  the  various  de- 
partments, as  the  Natural  History  Society,  etc.,  etc. 

THE  Y.  M.  C.  A.  AND  THE  Y.  W.  C.  A. 

Twelve  students  came  together  January  23,  1869,  and  formed  the  Cornell 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  The  society  met  for  several  years  in  the  same  hall  as  the  literary 
societies,  where  is  now  the  Registrar's  office,  in  Morrill  Hall.  President  White 
presented  to  these  societies  bronze  statutes  of  Shakespeare  and  o  f  several  other 
celebrities. 

Alfred  S.  Barnes,  in  1888,  built  Barnes  Hall,  "For  the  Welfare  of  God  Among 
Men,"  and  this  became  the  home  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.  The  Y.  W.  C.  A.  was  or- 
ganized several  years  ago  and  occupies  the  Eastern  part  of  Barnes  Hall,  on  the 
first  floor. 

Cornell  has  ever  been  proud  of  John  R.  Mott,  '88,  who  is  now  a  world's

Early  hi  its  history  a  Hoe  printing-press  was  presented  to  the  University, 
and  it  was  set  up  and  used  in  Sibley  College.  On  it  were  printed  examination 
papers  and  other  work.  It  gave  employment  to  quite  a  number  of  students. 
It  was  found  to  be  cheaper  to  have  the  work  done  privately  and  the  press  was 
sold. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  XLDC 

The  first  University  publication  was  the  Cornell  Era,  a  weekly  paper,  the 
first  number  of  which  was  issued  at  the  hour  of  midnight  on  December  1,  1868, 
just  as  the  clocks  were  striking  twelve.  The  edition  numbered  seven  hundred 
copies.  The  first  Era  bears  the  date  of  November  28.  It  was  first  published 
by  the  members  of  the  secret  societies.  The  volume  for  1874-5  was  prepared 
by  editors  chosen  from  the  senior  and  junior  classes.  This  paper,  afterwards 
changed  to  a  monthly  magazine,  has  had  a  continuous  existence  since  its  found- 
ing, and  is  one  of  the  oldest  literary  college  periodicals  in  the  country.  All  ques- 
tions of  university  policy  were  discussed  in  its  columns. 

Professor  Willard  Fiske  was  a  regular  contributor,  under  the  head  of  "Cornell 
Notes,"  and  sent  in  copy  containing  most  of  the  official  news  of  proceedings  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  and  Faculty. 

Many  other  members  of  the  faculty  sent  in  valuable  and  interesting  articles 
on  university  life  abroad,  travels,  etc. 

The  Cornell  Times  appeared  as  an  opposition  paper  but  soon  ceased  publica- 
tion. 

The  Cornell  Review,  a  literary  magazine,  appeared  in  October,  1873,  pub- 
lished at  first  by  representatives  of  the  literary  societies,  Irving,  Curtis  and 
Philalathean,  the  later  being  represented  in  and  after  1880  by  an  editor  from 
the  Debating  Club.  It  was  first  a  quarterly,  but  after  the  first  year  was  a 
monthly.  In  June,  1886,  it  ceased  publication.  It  was  succeeded  by  The  Cornell 
Magazine  which  appeared  first  on  April  13,  1888,  and  for  many  years  until  1900. 

The  Cornell  Daily  Sun  first  appeared  on  September  16,  1880,  and  contained 
the  daily  University  news.  This  valuable  publication  has  had  a  continuous 
existence  ever  since  that  time.  An  added  and  valuable  feature  for  several  years 
past  is  its  telegraphic  press  service.  Its  editors  are  chosen  from  the  students  by 
competition,  the  candidates  being  first  tried  out  by  actual  journalistic  expe- 
rience on  the  paper  for  a  short  period  of  time. 

The  Cornell  Alumni  News,  a  valuable  medium  of  communication  between 
the  University  and  the  alumni,  has  been  published  weekly  by  private  enterprise 
since  1899.  Woodford  Patterson,  '96,  for  ten  years  on  the  editorial  staff  of  the 
New  York  Sun,  has  been  the  able  editor  of  the  Cornell  Alumni  News  since  1906. 

Cocagne,  an  illustrated  comic  weekly,  appeared  but  one  term. 

The  Cornell  Widow  was  its  successor,  after  a  long  interregnum,  and  is  issued 
monthly. 

There  are  several  technical  and  departmental  publications,  including  the 
Philosophical  Review,  the  School  Review,  the  Cornell  Architect,  the  Cornell 
Countryman,  the  Sibley  Journal  of  Engineering,  the  Crank,  the  Physical  Review, 
and  several  others. 

The  Cornellian  has  been  published  annually  since  the  first  year,  1868-9. 

The  Cornell  Class  Books,  with  statistics  and  portraits,  have  been  issued  by 
the  graduating  classes  in  June  of  each  year  for  the  past  twenty-five  years.

CORNELL  PREPARATORY  SCHOOLS  AT  ITHACA 

Cornell  never  had  a  preparatory  department.  As  many  Cornellians  have 
been  prepared  at  Ithaca  preparatory  schools,  these  schools  will  be  briefly  re- 
ferred to. 

In  the  early  days  William  Kinne,  a  graduate  of  Yale,  built  a  school  building 
at  the  north-west  corner  of  Seneca  and  Spring  Streets,  in  Ithaca,  in  which  he 
conducted  a  college  preparatory  school  successfully  for  many  years.  When 
he  came  to  sell  it,  he  accepted  the  first  offer  made,  about  one-half  its  actual 
value,  because,  he  said,  he  didn't  want  would-be  purchasers  passing  over  the 
carpets  and  through  the  rooms,  to  inspect  them.  Several  years  later,  Frederick 
A.  Sawyer,  a  Harvard  graduate,  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  who  had  been  U.  S. 
Senator  from  South  Carolina,  conducted  a  college  preparatory  school  in  the 
recitation  and  class-room  building  of  the  Kinne  School,  which  was  situated  on 
Spring  Street,  back  of  the  dormitory  building,  and  is  now  a  private  residence. 

Professor  Lucien  A.  Wait,  of  Cornell,  started  a  college-preparatory  school 
in  the  Cascadilla  Building,  hence  the  name  which  he  gave  to  it,  the  Cascadilla 
School.  Afterwards  a  brick  school  building,  and  later  a  dormitory  building  were 
erected  on  the  high  ground  between  Dryden  Road  and  the  bank  of  Cascadilla 
Gorge,  just  east  of  College  Avenue,  formerly  Heustis  Street.  Charles  V.  Parsell, 
'72,  was  for  many  years  its  principal.  It  accommodates  sixty  boys,  and  has  a 
boating  club-house  at  the  mouth  of  Fall  Creek,  on  Cayuga  Lake. 

Charles  A.  Stiles,  '91,  conducted  the  University  Preparatory  School,  at 
Ithaca,  for  several  years.  The  old  Wick  mansion  on  E.  Seneca  Street  was  its 
home  for  recitations  for  a  long  time  and  it  had  several  houses  fitted  up  as  dor- 
mitories. 

Coney  Sturgis,  (P.  G.)  '05,  has  conducted  a  Tutoring  School  at  Ithaca  for 
several  years.  The  main  Preparatory  School  occupies  Cascadilla  Cottage,  the 
former  home  of  Professor  Hiram  Corson. 

Frank  C.  Edminster,  '02,  has  conducted  a  Tutoring  School  at  502  Stewart 
Ave.,  near  the  foot  of  South  Ave.  and  near  the  Campus,  for  several  years. 

Then  last  but  largest  in  the  number  of  students  prepared  for  Cornell,  comes 
the  old  Ithaca  Academy,  and  its  successor,  the  Ithaca  High  School.  This  modern 
school  has  fulfilled  its  whole  duty  in  preparing  young  men  and  women  for  Cornell, 
where  they  have  taken  high  standing  in  scholarship  and  athletics.  Among  its 
principals  have  been  many  Cornellians,  including  Fox  Holden,  '72,  from  1875 
to  1880;  Daniel  O.  Barto,  '77,  from  1880  to  1888,  and  from  1890  to  1893; 
Lewis  H.  Tuthill,  '84,  from  1888  to  1890.  Barto  was  succeeded  in  1893,  by 
Frank  D.  Boynton,  the  present  Principal  and  Superintendent  of  Schools. 

There  have  always  been  a  large  number  of  Cornellians  in  the  Faculty  of 
the  Ithaca  High  School. 

There  are  at  the  present  time  about  six  hundred  students  in  the  Ithaca  High 
School,  many  of  them  non-resident  students,  who  pay  tuition.

The  new  High  School  building,  erected  two  or  three  years  ago,  is  a  model 
school  bulding,  being  fire-proof  and  well  adapted  to  its  purpose.  The  contract 
price  for  building  it  was  $232,000,  and  there  was  $10,000  for  pile-driving,  be- 
sides there  was  the  additional  cost  of  equipment,  apparatus  and  books. 

The  tax-payers  of  Ithaca  generously  voted  a  sum  not  exceeding  $300,000  for 
the  building. 

Some  people  think  it  is  a  bad  plan  to  have  young  men  prepared  for  college 
in  a  college  town,  where  they  mingle  with  older  college  men  and  see  so  much  of 
college  life  before  actually  entering  college,  but  we  leave  that  problem  to  the 
educators. 

TRAVEL  TO  AND  FROM  CORNELL 

President  White  says  that  on  his  return  from  Europe  on  one  occasion,  he 
inquired  in  New  York  City  at  the  ticket  office,  for  a  ticket  to  Ithaca.  The  ticket- 
agent  said  to  him :  "Ithaca!  Ithaca!  It  seems  as  if  I  have  heard  of  such  a  place." 
That  may  be  a  little  stronger  than  the  ticket-agent  put  it,  but  anyway  President 
White  assured  him  that  Ithaca  was  "On  the  map."  The  President  deplored 
the  fact  that  the  travel  facilities  to  Ithaca  were  not  so  good  as  they  ought  to  be, 
nor  the  place  as  well  advertised  as  it  should  be  for  the  seat  of  a  great  university. 

In  the  early  days  the  only  railroad  running  into  Ithaca  was  the  "Lackawanna," 
over  the  "South  Hill"  switch-back,  Ithaca  being  the  end  of  the  Cayuga  division. 
This  was  the  second  railroad  to  be  in  operation,  and  the  first  one  on  which  work 
was  started,  in  the  State  of  New  York;  it  connected  at  Owego  with  the  Erie 
R.  R.  The  switch-back  could  have  been  eliminated,  but  it  was  easier  and  cheaper 
for  the  engineers  to  build  the  road  in  that  way. 

Director  Moses  Taylor  had  a  plan  for  it  to  run  down  the  valley  of  Six  Mile 
Creek  and  tunnel  under  Terrace  Place,  where  the  Andrus  and  Turner  mansions 
stand,  but  he  died  before  any  work  was  done,  and  nothing  more  has  been  heard 
about  it. 

Ezra  Cornell  nearly  bankrupted  himself  to  build  railroads  into  and  out  of 
Ithaca.  The  old  E.  C.  &  N.  R.  R.,  on  East  Hill,  was  in  the  early  days  called 
the  "Shoo-Fly."  It  entered  the  Campus  because  Ithaca  was  heavily  bonded 
to  help  build  it  and  only  did  so  with  the  proviso  that  it  must  enter  the  corpora- 
tion of  the  village  of  Ithaca  which  it  complied  with,  or  very  nearly  did  so,  by 
coming  into  the  Campus  over  a  switch.  The  station  was  a  wooden,  unpainted 
shanty  that  stood  where  Professor  Wilcox's  residence  is  now  situated.  This 
railroad  is  now  a  branch  of  the  L.  V.  R.  R.  Before  its  advent,  if  a  person  wished 
to  go  to  Syracuse,  he  had  to  drive  to  Cortland  and  there  take  a  train. 

Ezra  Cornell  also  built  the  Ithaca  and  Athens  R.  R.,  the  Ithaca  and  Geneva 
R.  R.,  and  the  Cayuga  Lake  R.  R.,  which  runs  from  Ithaca  to  Cayuga,  at  the 
north  end  of  the  lake.  All  these  last  named  railroads  are  now  a  part  of  the  Le- 
high  Valley  system. 

At  the  end  of  the  University  terms  both  of  the  railroads  furnish  special  Cor- 
nell trams  to  take  the  Cornell  students  to  Chicago  and  New  York  City.  The 
Lehigh  and  Lackawanna  have  fine  depots  at  the  "Inlet." 


LII  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

In  recent  years  the  Ithaca  and  Auburn  "Short  Line"  R.  R.  was  built,  using 
part  way  the  old  road-bed  of  the  Auburn  and  Lansing  R.  R. 

The  Cayuga  Lake  steamers  were  another  means  of  travel  and  transportation, 
connecting  with  the  N.  Y.  Central  R.  R.  at  Cayuga. 

The  railroad  travel  facilities  to  and  from  Ithaca  are  very  good.  There  are 
several  fast  expresses  every  day  to  New  York  City,  Philadelphia  and  to  Buffalo 
and  the  West.  Sleeping  coaches  are  attached  at  Ithaca  for  New  York  City  and 
Philadelphia  every  night.  Ithaca  has  the  most  important  passenger  traffic  of 
any  city  between  New  York  City  and  Buffalo. 

The  means  of  transportation  from  Ithaca  to  the  Campus  in  the  early  days 
was  a  bus-line,  making  two  trips  in  the  forenoon  and  one  in  the  afternoon.  In 
recent  years  there  has  been  the  electric  railroad  car  service. 

There  are  several  automobile  bus-lines  running  to  other  near-by  cities  and 


CORNELL'S  DISTINGUISHED  VISITORS 

Cornell  University  has  been  visited  at  various  times  by  many  of  the  most 
distinguished  statesmen,  divines  and  scholars  in  the  world.  President  and  Mrs. 
U.  S.  Grant  visited  their  son,  Jesse  Root  Grant,  '78,  at  Cornell,  a  short  time 
previous  to  their  trip  around  the  world. 

President  Rutherford  B.  Hayes,  then  Governor  of  Ohio,  came  to  Cornell 
to  enter  one  of  his  sons  there.  Eventually  all  of  his  five  sons  became  Cornellians. 

President  Grover  Cleveland,  then  Governor  of  New  York,  laid  the  corner- 
stone of  the  Memorial  Chapel.  Mrs.  Grover  Cleveland,  formerly  Frances  Fol- 
som,  was  a  frequent  visitor  here  during  her  college  days  at  Wells  College,  at 
Aurora-on-Cayuga  Lake,  and  has  been  here  several  times  since. 

President  Theodore  Roosevelt  has  been  a  visitor  on  several  occasions,  when 
Governor,  when  President,  and  since.  He  was  on  one  occasion  the  guest  of  the 
Chi  Psi  fraternity  at  their  lodge,  the  former  Fiske  mansion. 

President  William  H.  Taft  delivered  the  Founder's  Day  address  when  Sec- 
retary of  War,  and  has  since  delivered  several  addresses  at  Cornell. 

Captain,  now  Rear  Admiral,  Robert  E.  Peary,  U.  S.  N.,  delivered  the  ad- 
dress at  the  unveiling  of  the  memorial  tablet  to  Professor  Ross  G.  Marvin,  '05, 
in  Sage  Chapel. 

Governor  Horatio  Seymour,  Democratic  candidate  for  President,  was  at 
the  Clinton  House,  in  Ithaca,  an  Commencement  Day  of  the  Class  of  '80,  and 
was  invited  to  attend,  but  was  unable  to  do  so. 

Chief  Justice  Alton  B.  Parker  delivered  the  Founder's  Day  address  a  few 
years  ago. 

Henry  Ward  Beecher  addressed  a  vast  assemblage  in  Sage  Chapel. 
Gen.  Leonard  Wood  was  here  recently.

Bayard  Taylor,  Louis  Agassiz,  James  Russell  Lowell,  and  George  William 
Curtis  lectured  at  Cornell  in  the  early  days. 

Professor  Edward  A.  Freeman  of  Oxford  University,  England,  lectured  at 
Cornell  and  pronounced  its  Campus  the  most  beautiful  and  sightly  college  campus 
in  the  world. 

James  Anthony  Froude,  the  historian  of  England,  also  lectured  at  Cornell. 

When  the  Chinese  Commissioners  on  Education  were  sent  to  this  country 
by  the  Queen  Dowager  of  China,  a  few  years  ago,  they  visited  Cornell.  Pro- 
fessor Jeremiah  W.  Jenks  of  Cornell,  who  had  been  adviser  to  the  Chinese  Gov- 
ernment on  the  coinage  of  that  kingdom,  was  on  hand  to  help  entertain  them. 
The  main  reception  by  the  Cornell  students  was  held  in  the  Armory.  Sao-ke 
Alfred  Sze,  '01,  then  attache  of  the  Chinese  legation  in  Washington,  came  on 
and  introduced  them  to  Cornellians  and  acted  as  interpreter.  The  Cornell  Glee 
Club  rendered  some  college  songs  as  a  greeting,  the  cheer-leaders,  with  the  as- 
sistance of  the  students,  gave  the  Cornell  yell  and  a  "Tiger"  for  the  Commissioners 
and  for  Mr.  Sze.  Then  one  of  the  Commissioners  read  his  address,  which  was 
written  and  spoken  in  the  Chinese  language.  The  other  Commissioner  kept 
nodding  his  head  in  approval  of  what  his  colleague  said.  Then  Mr.  Sze  interpreted 
the  address  which  told  the  purpose  of  their  visit  and  all  about  it,  with  thanks 
for  their  cordial  reception.  The  Commissioners  were  dressed  in  their  native 
costume,  keeping  their  round  flat  hats  upon  their  heads  even  while  the  address 
was  being  delivered,  and  they  kept  on  their  long  coats  also;  they  looked  just 
like  pictures  in  the  ancient  geographies. 

The  Japanese  Merchants'  Association  sent  a  large  Commission  to  the  United 
States  and  Europe,  a  few  years  ago,  and  it  visited  Ithaca  and  Cornell,  where 
it  was  entertained,  after  visiting  the  University  and  Campus,  at  a  banquet  at 
the  Ithaca  Hotel.  After  their  return  home  they  sent  to  the  University  a  beau- 
tifully woven  silk  testimonial  for  its  hospitality. 


AVIATION 

Cornell  early  formed  an  Aero  Club. 

The  Thomas  Bros.  School  of  Aviation,  a  local  institution,  connected  with 
their  Aeroplane  factory,  has  furnished  instruction  in  flying  for  a  considerable 
number  of  Cornell  students. 

Robert  Elias  Treman,  '09,  is  President  of  the  Cornell  Aero  Club. 


CLASSICAL  AND  LITERARY  STUDIES  AT  CORNELL 

"Cornell  is  only  a  Scientific  and  Engineering  College."    These  are  the  words 
that  greeted  the  writer  when  he  announced  his  intention  of  studying  at  Cornell. 

"You  can  see  some  Cornell  specimens  right  here  in  our  own  community," 
naming  them. 


LIV  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

Well,  the  "Specimens"  were  all  right,  only  some  of  them  had  only  been  at 
Cornell  a  term  or  two  in  the  early  years  and  had  boasted  that  they  were  "Repre- 
sentative Cornellians,"  whatever  that  may  mean.  Even  at  the  present  day 
the  Summer  School  students  and  "Short  Horns"  announce,  some  of  them,  that 
they  are  "Regular"  Cornell  students,  whatever  that  may  mean. 

Anyway,  it  is  true  that  the  public  had  some  not  very  clear  ideas  about  the 
new  institution,  which  had  announced  so  many  different  courses,  besides  the 
regular  classical  course. 

One  rival  college  paper  said  sarcastically  that  the  "Optional"  course  at  Cor- 
nell must  be  a  very  hard  one. 

Then  it  said  that  the  "Non-Resident  Professors"  must  be  some  "Joke," 
referring,  of  course,  to  their  taking  the  "absent  treatment." 

Then  the  specimens  of  entrance  examination  papers,  published  in  the  early 
Registers,  caused  a  good  many  laughs  at  the  expense  of  the  University,  because 
they  appeared  to  be  comparatively  easy.  But  they  don't  laugh  any  more  at 
Cornell,  or  crack  any  more  jokes  about  her. 

One  graduate  of  Princeton,  in  business  at  Ithaca,  said  that  his  brother  was 
going  to  Princeton  because  it  was  a  "Literary"  college,  instead  of  going  to  Cor- 
nell. He  afterwards  failed  in  business.  However,  Cornell  has  now,  and  for 
many  years  past  has  had,  its  share  of  classical  and  literary  students. 

When  the  other  colleges  could  not  beat  Cornell  at  rowing,  they  said  that 
athletics  was  not  the  real  test  anyway;  that  scholarship  was  the  thing;  so  they 
organized  an  intercollegiate  Literary  Contest  and  Cornell  defeated  them  in  that, 
too,  till  they  quit. 

No  university  ever  had  greater  teachers  in  the  various  departments,  of 
Greek  and  Latin,  in  Modern  Languages,  in  Literature,  in  History,  or  any  other 
branch  of  literature  than  Cornell  has  had  from  the  beginning  to  the  present 
time. 

Professor  Tracy  Peck,  after  serving  for  many  years,  1871-80,  as  head  of  the 
Latin  Department  at  Cornell,  left  Cornell  to  succeed  Professor  Thomas  Thatcher 
at  his  Alma  Mater.  He  published  several  Latin  College  Text-Books. 

Professor  Isaac  Flagg,  head  of  the  Greek  Department  at  Cornell,  1871-88, 
was  a  graduate  of  Harvard,  and  left  Cornell  to  become  head  Professor  of  Greek 
in  the  University  of  California.  He  published  several  Greek  college  text-books. 

Professor  Charles  E.  Bennett  has  been  at  the  head  of  the  Latin  Department 
since  1892. 

Professor  George  P.  Bristol,  the  present  head  of  the  Greek  Department* 
has  been  connected  with  the  department  since  1888. 

Professor  John  R.  S.  Sterrett  was  Professor  of  Greek  and  head  of  the  de- 
partment from  1901  till  his  death,  June  15,  1914. 

Professor  Herbert  C.  Elmer,  '83,  has  been  Assistant  Professor  and  Professor 
of  Latin  since  1888. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  LV 

William  Gardner  Hale  was  Professor  of  Latin  from  1880  to  1892,  when  he 
went  to  the  University  of  Chicago. 

They  are  '  'Knocking"  Greek  not  only  at  Cornell  but  at  Harvard,  and  else- 
where, as  Professor  Horatio  S.  White  tells  us.  During  Professor  Benjamin  Ide 
Wheeler's  absence  in  Athens,  action  was  taken  at  Cornell,  allowing  modern 
languages  to  be  substituted  for  Greek,  to  take  the  A.B.  degree.  On  being  asked, 
on  his  return,  by  the  writer,  what  he  was  going  to  do  about  it,  he  said  that  he 
would  do  nothing,  as  it  was  now  an  accomplished  fact.  Even  the  Ithaca  High 
School  has  given  up  its  class  in  Greek. 

CORNELL'S  GREAT  NEEDS 

Cornell's  greatest  need  is  more  endowment.  Cornell's  greatest  need  on  the 
social  side,  is  an  Alumni  Hall,  one  in  which  could  be  held  class  meetings,  ban- 
quets, etc.,  and  which  would  be  a  club  house  as  well  for  the  Campus  community, 
a  place  in  which  to  centralize  the  social  interests  of  the  professors  and  students 
and  where  all  could  meet  together.  The  new  University  Club  meets  this  want 
of  a  social  gathering-place  and  has  its  headquarters  as  Sage  Cottage,  but  needs 
more  room. 

Another  need  of  Cornell  is  a  centrally-situated  fire-fighting  station,  fully 
equipped  and  manned  for  emergency.  Nearly  every  year  some  great  building, 
either  belonging  to  the  University,  or  to  some  fraternity,  is  burned  almost,  or 
entirely,  down,  because  the  fire  apparatus  cannot  reach  the  scene  in  time. 

There  are  many  other,  and  still  more  important  needs  which  are  mentioned 
more  fully  in  another  article. 

THE  FRATERNITIES 

The  first  secret  societies  to  be  instituted  at  Cornell  were  the  Zeta  Psi  and 
Chi  Phi  fraternities. 

In  the  early  days  the  fraternities  met  hi  rooms  over  stores  "Down  Town," 
and  later,  about  1876,  began  to  rent  and  afterwards  to  build  and  own  lodges 
of  their  own. 


The  fraternity  movement  is  the  strongest  at  Cornell  of  any  of  the  col 
The  establishment  of  new  fraternities  has  always  been  favored  by  President 
White.    One  of  the  reasons  is  because  it  provides  dormitories. 

While  they  were  organized  to  provide  for  the  social  life  of  the  students,  which 
was  found  not  much  developed  in  the  old  literary  and  debating  societies,  yet 
the  "Society"  idea  has  become  pretty  well  developed  also,  as  witness  the  house- 
parties  at  the  lodges  during  Junior,  Navy  and  Senior  Weeks,  when  an  entire 
floor  of  each  entertaining  lodge  is  given  over  to  fair  visitors  and  their  chaperones. 
On  these  occasions  Cornellians  give  a  very  good  sample  of  society  in  New  York 
and  Newport. 

It  was  feared  at  first  that  they  would  unite  for  mutual  action,  politically  and 
otherwise,  on  any  pending  matters  before  the  University,  as  the  election  of 
Alumni  Trustee,  etc.,  or  that  they  might  interfere  with  University  discipline. 


LVI  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

It  has  been  complained  that  the  scholarship  of  fraternity  men  was  not  so 
high  as  that  of  the  other  students,  on  account  of  social  diversions,  etc.,  but 
recently  the  fraternities  have  made  good  showings  in  scholarship. 

President  Schurman  is  not  a  member  of  any  college  fraternity  and  his  ad- 
vice to  others  who  do  not  belong  is  "Eat  not  thy  heart  with  envy  over  the  matter," 
for  there  are  as  good  men  outside  as  inside  the  fraternities. 

However,  there  are  few  students  in  good  standing  but  receive  an  invitation 
to  join  some  fraternity. 

There  was  once  a  bunch  of  fellows  who  wished  to  get  a  chapter  of  an  old 
fraternity  at  Cornell,  but  there  was  one  college  that  stood  out  against  Cornell, 
whereupon  the  other  fraternity  men  and  the  "Independents"  had  a  song: 

"There's  one  more  river  to  cross; 
It's  deep  and  wide  to  the  other  side, 
There's  one  more  river  to  cross." 

While  the  principal  object  is  to  get  a  bunch  of  congenial  fellows  together, 
yet  they  keep  a  "weather-eye  open"  for  the  youthful  scions  of  wealthy  families, 
for  it  costs  a  lot  of  money  to  build  and  keep  up  fraternity  houses,  and  they  are 
not  going  to  object  to  a  young  man,  who  is  otherwise  all  right,  just  because  he 
happens  to  have  money.  Furthermore  some  of  the  fraternities  who  have  had 
to  run  into  debt  for  their  lodges  may  have  trouble  to  pay  for  them  in  compe- 
tition with  the  new  men's  dormitories. 

The  old  time  "rushing"  for  fraternities  is  practically  abandoned  by  agree- 
ment of  the  fraternities  between  themselves,  a  committee  of  each,  at  an  ap- 
pointed time  attending  to  this  work. 

On  one  occasion,  a  few  years  ago,  when  an  unusually  desirable  candidate 
was  expected  over  the  Lackawanna  R.  R.,  an  enterprising  fraternity  sent  its 
committee  to  the  top  of  "South  Hill"  and  they  there  boarded  the  train  at  the 
"Switch-back"  and  persuaded  the  young  man  that  the  University  was  right 
there  near  at  hand  and  that  he  had  reached  the  end  of  his  journey.  Mean- 
time, the  representatives  of  other  fraternities  waited  at  the  lower  station  at 
the  "Inlet"  till  the  train  came  in  and  they  found  that  they  had  been  flanked 
and  outgeneraled. 

On  another  occasion  a  wag  registered  at  the  Ithaca  Hotel  as  "Henry  C. 
Frick,  jr.,  Pittsburg,  Pa."  He  was  no  myth,  for  Clyde  A.  Dunniway,  '02,  was 
his  tutor,  and  tried  to  get  him  to  attend  Cornell.  Anyway,  the  boys  haunted 
the  hotel  lobby  for  a  long  time  to  find  this  elusive  person,  but  the  Clerk  being 
"on"  let  them  "fool"  around  for  a  while  before  letting  them  know  that  they 
were  "sold." 

Many  wealthy  students  did  not  join  fraternities  in  the  early  years;  some- 
times their  parents  were  opposed,  for  they  had  heard  unfavorable  reports  about 
the  early  fraternities.  The  death  of  young  Morimer  M.  Leggett,  '77,  in  1873, 
was  one  ground,  and  it  caused  strong  feeling  against  college  fraternities.  He 
was  the  son  of  Gen.  Leggett,  U.  S.  Commissioner  of  Internal  Revenue,  at  Wash- 
ington. The  unfortunate  young  man  went  with  some  companions  to  a  lonely 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  LVH 

spot  on  Giles  Street,  and  while  waiting  for  some  companions  to  come  to  join  in 
the  initiation,  and  while  standing  under  a  pine  tree,  upon  a  rocky  bluff,  young 
Leggett  felt  himself  falling  and  grasped  his  companions  and  all  three  went  over, 
but  he  falling  on  the  under  side  was  crushed  and  died.  His  father  came  on  and 
became  satisfied  that  no  harm  was  intended  and  that  it  was  an  accident  due  to 
carelessness,  and  consented  to  and  was,  afterwards,  initiated  himself  in  the 
same  fraternity.  There  are  now  48  fraternities  that  occupy  chapter-houses, 
and  there  are  several  others  that  will  probably  soon  build  lodges. 

At  Cornell  the  general  fraternities  take  members  from  all  classes,  while  at 
Harvard  and  Yale  the  most  prominent  among  them,  including  Psi  Upsilon,  Alpha 
Delta  Phi,  and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon,  choose  only  upperclass  men,  after  the 
freshman  year. 

Besides  the  old  honorary  Phi  Beta  Kappa  fraternity,  there  are  several  other 
honorary  and  senior  fraternities  at  Cornell,  as  "Quill  and  Dagger,"  etc.  Then 
there  is  the  honorary  scientific  fraternity,  Theta  Xi. 

The  Delta  Upsilon,  claiming  not  to  be  secret,  was  formed  at  an  early  day 
from  the  "Independents,"  who  were  opposed  to  secret  fraternities.  The  Kappa 
Alpha  fraternity  was  third  on  the  list,  Nov.  27,  1868. 

Upon  April  3,  1869,  three  others  claimed  recognition,  Alpha  Delta  Phi,  Chi 
Psi  and  Phi  Kappa  Psi. 

The  Alpha  Delta  Phi  was  the  first  to  build  and  own  a  chapter  house,  which 
was  of  brick  and  was  located  at  the  southeast  corner  of  Buffalo  and  Spring 
Streets. 

There  are  now  so  many  fraternities  that  it  is  hard  for  even  a  classical  scholar 
to  remember  one  third  of  them  by  their  Greek  names.

"When  the  shadows  shroud  the  hillsides, 

And  the  stars  glow  in  the  blue, 

When  the  night  wind  o'er  Cayuga 

Breathes  its  tale  of  love  anew; 

When  there's  silence  deep  and  tender, 

Save  when  chimes  the  even  bell, 
Sending  far  o'er  vale  and  wavelet 

Gentle  greetings  from  Cornell; 

Then  upon  the  valley's  bosom 

Gleam  a  thousand  gems  of  light 
Mild  and  clear  their  radiance  stealing 

Thro'  the  chambers  of  the  night. 

Brighter  they  than  heaven's  jewels, 
Deeper  sinks  their  beams  bright  dart, 

For  they  shine  from  Love's  dear  hearthstones 
Straight  into  the  exile's  heart."

THE  CENTENNIAL  OF  EZRA  CORNELL'S  BIRTHDAY 

This  occurred  on  the  llth  day  of  January,  1907.  Great  preparations  had 
been  made  for  the  celebration  of  this  event.  A  large  tent  had  been  built,  and 
new  wooden  benches  provided  for  the  audience,  but  the  weather  was  inclement 
and  so  the  exercises  were  held  in  the  Armory. 

The  occasion  was  also  used  to  formally  dedicate  the  new  main  building  of 
the  New  York  State  College  of  Agriculture.  The  Governor,  Charles  E.  Hughes, 
was  one  of  the  speakers.  President  White  was  another.  Andrew  Carnegie  was 
expected  but  was  ill  and  could  not  come.  However,  he  had  prepared  for  the 
occasion  an  address  upon  the  "Life  of  Ezra  Cornell,"  which  was  afterwards 
published. 

THE  FORTIETH  ANNIVERSARY  OF  CORNELL 

The  formal  exercises  of  this  occasion  took  place  at  Commencement  in  June, 
1908.  A  special,  and  successful,  effort  was  made  for  a  Grand  Reunion  of  the 
alumni.  The  exercises  were  held  in  front  of  Goldwin  Smith  Hall.  President 
White  spoke  with  his  accustomed  mental  vigor.  Judge  Frank  H.  Hiscock,  '75, 
of  the  New  York  Court  of  Appeals,  spoke  for  the  alumni. 

The  graduating  class  and  undergraduates,  in  a  body,  called  upon  President 
White  at  his  home,  where  he  addressed  them,  clad  in  his  Oxford  gown,  out  of 
compliment  to  the  graduating  class,  who  wore  their  caps  and  gowns. 


STUDENT  CUSTOMS 

The  early  students  were  fond  of  making  night  raids  on  the  old  cider-mill  at 
Forest  Home,  but  that  has  long  since  passed  away,  with  other  familiar  land- 
marks. 

"Rushes"  are  a  thing  of  the  past  at  Cornell. 

Commencement  exercises  for  the  past  few  years  have  been  held  in  the  open 
air  on  the  slope  in  front  of  McGraw  Hall,  in  a  little  natural  ampi theatre,  with 
board  seats  arranged  in  a  semi-circle. 

The  out-door  Class  Day  exercises  are  still  held  in  the  little  grove  in  the  College 
quadrangle. 


LX  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

Hallowe'en  always  brings  student  pranks,  including  the  "borrowing"  of 
gates,  signs,  etc. 

There  are  certain  student  rules  that  must  be  observed  by  undergraduates; 
for  example,  the  Freshmen  must  wear  regulation  caps.  At  the  end  of  the  aca- 
demic year,  at  Commencement  time,  they  have  a  big  bon-fire  at  which  the  caps 
are  burned. 

The  University  has  printed  "Rules  for  the  Guidance  of  Students."  There 
are  also  special  rules  for  the  guidance  of  the  women  students. 

STUDENT  FESTIVITIES 

"Spring  Day"  comes  annually  with  its  fantastic  parade  and  circus.  Dr. 
Wilder  used  to  issue  a  manifesto  against  its  frivolities  and  plead  for  a  more 
rational  celebration.  Nevertheless,  he  retains  his  great  popularity. 

"Junior  Week"  is  the  great  event  in  the  social  life  of  the  University,  when 
Cornell  is  crowded  with  bright  visitors.  It  comes  next  after  "Block,"  or  term 
examination,  Week,  and  comes  either  the  last  week  in  January  or  the  first  week 
in  February  of  each  year.  Then  comes  "Navy  Week,"  in  May,  followed  by 
"Senior  Week"  in  June. 

"Around  the  cycle  of  the  season  whirled, 
And  Ithaca  was  filled  with  pretty  girls, 
Who  took  our  rooms,  and  made  us  sweep  the  floors, 
And  clean  the  house,  and  then  live  out  doors." 

— D.  W.  McG.,'ll. 

STUDENTS  AID 

The  loan  fund  at  the  Treasurer's  office  has  helped  many  students  through 
their  college  course,  and  the  money  is  always  repaid.  The  Students'  Relief 
Fund  is  another  valuable  aid.  Then  there  are  many  fellowships  and  scholar- 
ships, besides  the  State  scholarships  which  give  free  tuition  to  four  students  all 
the  time  from  each  assembly  district. 

STUDENT  GOVERNMENT 

There  have  not  been  many  serious  breaches  of  discipline.  Some  students 
have  been  "removed"  for  "cribbing,"  or  cheating,  in  examinations.  They  forgot 
the  classical  allusion  to  the  ancient  town  of  which  modern  Ithaca  is  the  name- 
sake: "Ithaca  is  a  poor  place  for  horses,"  and  we  will  add  "or  for  ponies." 

There  is  a  Committee  on  Student  Affairs  that  now  regulates  those  matters. 
It  is  composed  of  undergraduates  with  one  faculty  member. 

The  proctor,  Lieutenant  T.  H.  Tweston,  now  is  the  adviser  of  men,  and 
supervisor  of  their  conduct,  and  is  popular  notwithstanding  his  unpleasant  duties. 
The  great  army  of  students  are  left  practically  to  their  own  sweet  wills  as  to 
deportment,  attendance  upon  routine  duties  and  the  general  employment  of 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  LXI 

their  time.  They  are  not  required  to  attend  Chapel  exercises  and  they  are  not 
marked  and  tagged  and  watched  by  monitors.  The  night  is  theirBown,  to  work 
or  to  waste,  as  they  will.  It  is  a  true  student  Republic.  If  the  student  mis- 
behaves he  is  amenable  to  the  law.  If  he  neglects  his  studies  and  falls  below 
the  standard  of  scholarship  he  is  dropped.  Cornell  is  not  a  reformatory,  but 
for  the  earnest  young  men  and  women  it  has  no  superior  in  the  world. 

STUDENT  MORALS 

About  the  "nineties"  there  was  an  organization  in  Ithaca  called  the  "S.  P.  C.," 
or  "Society  for  the  Prevention  of  Crime,"  with  Professor  George  W.  Jones,  of 
Cornell,  President,  and  Fred  J.  Marsh,  Agent.  This  society  was  in  existence 
for  several  years.  At  the  time  of  its  formation  there  were  in  Ithaca  several 
houses  of  bad  repute,  eighty  places  where  liquor  was  sold,  and  several  gambling 
places.  There  were  a  large  number  of  convictions  for  crime  during  its  existence, 
which  it  claimed  to  have  secured.  Still  there  were  several  of  that  class  of  houses 
in  existence.  It  finally  died  from  lack  of  financial  support.  It  had  accumulated 
a  great  variety  of  enemies  and  some  respectable  citizens  doubted  the  efficiency 
of  its  measures.  It  was  a  singular  coincidence  that  soon  after  it  went  out  of 
existence,  the  "bad  spots"  of  Ithaca  were  quietly  but  effectually  put  out  of  busi- 
ness by  the  sheriffs  of  that  time,  assisted  by  the  local  police,  so  that  there  has 
not  been  a  house  of  bad  repute  in  Ithaca  during  the  past  ten  years,  and  there 
are  not  more  than  about  twenty-five  places  for  the  sale  of  liquor  in  Ithaca,  in- 
cluding drugstores,  hotels  and  saloons,  though  Ithaca's  citizen  population  has 
doubled,  and  its  student  number  has  quadrupled  since  that  time.  There  is  not 
nearly  so  much  liquor-drinking  among  Cornell  students  now  as  there  was  in 
former  years,  as  has  been  proven  by  careful  investigation. 

FOUNDER'S  DAY 

On  the  llth  day  of  January  comes  the  anniversary  of  the  birth  of  the  Founder, 
and  every  year  it  is  observed  by  the  suspension  of  all  University  work.  There 
is  an  address  by  some  distinguished  orator  on  the  occasion. 

In  recent  years  among  the  speakers  have  been  Lyman  J.  Gage,  Justice  Henry 
B.  Brown  of  the  U.  S.  Supreme  Court,  Alton  B.  Parker,  William  H.  Taft,  and 
General  Leonard  Wood,  who  recently  spoke  here  on  war  preparedness. 

FOREIGN  STUDENTS  AT  CORNELL 

In  the  early  days  there  were  quite  a  good  many  students  from  Brazil  at 
Cornell,  probably  through  the  influence  of  Professor  Charles  F.  Hartt  of  Cornell, 
who  made  a  Geological  Survey  of  that  country.  They  continued  to  come  to 
Cornell  until  about  1895,  when  a  Brazilian  student  claimed  that  the  require- 
ments for  admission  and  graduation  were  too  high,  so  he  quit  and  went  to  Syra- 
cuse University;  soon  afterwards  the  rest  of  the  Brazillian  students  left  Cornell. 

The  Metropolitan  Club  was  formed  by  foreign  students  several  years  ago; 
soon  afterwards  the  Spanish  students  left  the  Metropolitan  Club  and  formed 
the  Spanish-American  Club.  Their  lodge  is  on  Dryden  Road. 


LXII  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

In  recent  years  there  have  been  about  thirty-five  Chinese  students  at  Cornell 
all  the  time.  They  are  sent  by  their  home  Government,  from  the  income  of  the 
"Boxer"  indemnity,  imposed  upon  China  after  the  "Boxer"  troubles.  The 
United  States  refused  to  take  its  share  and  thereupon  China  set  the  sum  aside 
as  an  educational  fund,  and  out  of  compliment  to  our  country  directed  that  the 
beneficiaries  of  the  fund  should  be  educated  in  the  United  States.  Some  go  to 
other  colleges  in  our  country  but  the  largest  number  to  attend  any  college,  come 
to  Cornell.  After  graduation  they  are  obliged  to  return  to  their  native  land 
and  enter  the  government  service,  to  repay  for  the  expenses  of  their  education. 

There  are  about  one-third  as  many  Japanese  as  Chinese  students  at  Cornell. 
They  also  are  sent  at  the  expense  of  their  home  government  and  afterwards 
enter  its  service. 

In  their  home  countries  many  former  Cornell  students  have  attained  great 
distinction,  as  witness:  Sao-Ke  Alfred  Sze,  '01,  who  was  appointed  Chinese 
Ambassador  to  the  U.  S.  and  is  now  Minister  of  Posts  and  Roads. 

Then  there  is  Gen.  Mario  Garcia  Menocal,  '88,  who  is  now  President  of  the 
Republic  of  Cuba. 

Ryokichi  Yatabe,  '76,  who  was  one  of  the  few  Commencement  speakers  at 
graduation,  and  spoke  in  beautiful  English,  has  been  for  many  years  Professor 
of  Botany  and  Director  of  the  Botanical  Gardens,  University  of  Tokio. 

A  few  years  ago  there  were  several  native  students  from  India,  in  Agriculture. 
A  native  prince  visited  them  for  a  period  of  about  two  weeks  and  examined  the 
Cornell  Agricultural  plant. 


THE  LIBRARY 

It  first  occupied  the  central  section,  on  the  ground  floor,  where  the  faculty 
room  used  to  be,  and  where  the  Registrar's  office  now  is  located,  in  Morrill  Hall. 
In  1870  it  was  removed  to  the  ground  floor,  in  the  central  section,  of  the  McGraw 
Building.  In  1891  it  was  removed  to  the  new  University  Library  Building. 

In  1871  it  had  27,500  volumes.  It  now  has  nearly  500,000  volumes.  Pro- 
fessor Willard  Fiske  was  the  first  librarian.  It  was  in  financial  distress,  soon 
after  its  removal  to  the  McGraw  Building.  Until  1880  the  annual  appropriation 
for  the  library  was  only  $1,500.  In  that  year  the  trustees  appropriated  $20,000 
for  it. 

Professor  Fiske,  long  afterwards,  gave  to  it  the  splendid  Dante  collection, 
and  many  other  books,  and  finally  all  his  property,  amounting  to  over  $500,000 
for  the  increase  of  his  own  collection  of  books. 

George  William  Harris,  '73,  succeeded  Professor  Willard  Fiske,  as  Librarian 
in  1883,  and  served  until  1915,  when  he  resigned  and  was  succeeded  by  Willard 
Austin,  '91,  the  third  and  present  Librarian.

And  her  pencil  in  her  hair. 

But  she  rose  with  quick  decision 
For  another  crib  to  look 
When  a  terrible  explosion 
The  massive  building  shook. 

And  Austen  murmured  gently, 
As  the  little  desk  he  dusted:

THE  TREASURY  DEPARTMENT 

The  treasurer  of  Cornell  University,  with  a  $20,000,000  institution  on  his 
hands,  has  something  to  do.  The  early  trustees  were  not  all  financiers  but  there 
have  always  been  strong  men  on  the  Finance  Committee  of  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees to  manage  its  business  affairs. 

George  W.  Schuyler  was  the  first  treasurer,  1865-74. 

When  Joseph  W.  Williams,  the  second  treasurer,  1875-9,  died  in  1879,  Mr. 
Sage,  in  paying  a  tribute  to  his  memory,  said  that  his  accounts  were  absolutely 
correct  to  a  penny.  His  successor,  Emmons  L.  Williams,  1879-1915,  after  thirty- 
five  years  of  faithful  service  in  that  office,  became  Comptroller  in  1915. 

The  cashier  of  a  great  metropolitan  bank  does  not  often  handle  more  money 
than  does  the  Treasurer  of  Cornell,  and  he  has  a  multitude  of  other  duties  placed 
upon  his  shoulders;  the  payments  for  new  buildings,  and  apparatus,  and  equip- 
ment for  the  same,  the  improvement  of  the  grounds,  and  repairs  to  buildings, 
and  many  other  financial  responsibilities  are  his  burden. 

Charles  D.  Bostwick,  '92,  is  the  fourth,  and  present  Treasurer,  appointed 
in  1915. 

THE  INFIRMARIES 

Florence  Nightingale,  the  heroine  of  the  profession  of  nursing,  was  an  angel 
in  disguise. 

If  it  had  not  been  for  the  University  Infirmary  at  the  time  of  the  great  ty- 
phoid fever  epidemic,  the  loss  of  student  lives  would  have  been  much  greater. 
As  it  was  many  students  had  to  be  sent  home  to  be  cared  for  there,  on  showing 
symptoms  of  the  disease.  There  were  nearly  sixty  cases  of  the  disease  in  the 
Infirmary  all  the  time,  and  even  the  attic  of  the  old  Sage  mansion  had  to  be 
used  for  sleeping  apartments  for  the  nurses.  Additional  houses  were  hired  by

The  new  fire-proof  Infirmary  has  eighty  beds  and  the  old  mansion  is  now 
the  nurses'  home.  Any  professor,  teacher  or  student,  who  is  taken  ill,  can  be 
admitted.  It  is  a  very  important  and  necessary  department  of  the  University. 

The  old  home  of  Henry  W.  Sage  could  not  have  been  put  to  a  better  use. 


THE  GYMNASIUM 

"If  by  gaining  the  knowledge,  we  destroy  our  health,  we  labor  for  a  thing 
that  will  be  useless  in  our  hands;  he  that  sinks  his  vessel  by  overloading  it, 
though  it  be  with  gold,  and  silver,  and  precious  stones,  will  give  its  owner  an 
ill  account  of  his  voyage."  — BACON. 

The  first  gymnasium  was  a  small  wooden  building  that  stood  about  where 
the  Sigma  Phi  fraternity  lodge  is  now  situated.  The  money  to  build  it  was 
raised,  about  1873,  by  Professor  William  E.  Byerly,  of  Cornell,  afterwards  of 
Harvard.  It  was  a  crude  affair  and  had  but  little  apparatus. 

When  the  old  armory  was  completed  it  was  used,  and  is  used  to  the  present 
day,  as  the  gymnasium.  An  annex  was  added  later,  with  an  indoor  running- 
track,  and  a  general  room  for  gymnastics,  and  in  the  basement  lockers  and 
bath-rooms,  and  a  swimming-pool. 

Dr.  Edward  Hitchcock  was  Acting  Professor  of  Physical  Culture  and  Hy- 
giene, 1883-8;  Professor,  1888-1903. 

Dr.  Charles  Van  Patten  Young,  '99,  has  been  Acting  Professor  of  Physical 
Culture  and  Director  of  the  Gymnasium,  1904-6;  and  Professor  and  Director, 
since  1906. 


ALUMNI  FIELD 

This  lies  east  of  the  original  Campus  on  the  east  side  of  a  new  avenue,  parallel 
with  East  Avenue  running  north  and  south.  Its  north  and  east  sides  face  a  new 
quadrangle  formed  by  the  new  Agricultural  buildings.  To  grade  this  field  cost 
a  large  sum  of  money,  the  cost  being  borne  by  the  alumni,  hence  the  name. 

The  field  has  three  levels:  The  main  field  is  for  football  practice  games, 
and  for  minor  sports.  Another  field  is  the  Stadium  for  football  contests  with 
other  colleges,  with  concrete  seats  on  the  east  side.  The  Schoellkopf  Memorial 
building  for  athletics  flanks  it  on  the  north.  The  baseball  field  or  lowest  level, 
is  not  yet  completed. 

PERCY  FIELD 

This  is  still  used  for  baseball  contests  with  visiting  college  teams.  It  was 
given  by  William  H.  Sage  and  named  as  a  memorial  for  an  alumnus.

THE  WHITE  GATE 

The  beautiful  gate  at  the  southern  entrance  of  the  Campus  was  the  gift 
of  President  White.  The  inscriptions  are  as  follows: 

East  Tablet: 

"In  remembrance 

Of  all  who  with  him  had  part  in  the  founding  of  this  University : 
Of  all  who  here  gave  instruction, 

Of  all  who  have  pursued  their  studies  under  his  presidency  and  with  a  God  speed 
To  all  who  have  gone  or  shall  go  hence  to  their  life  work 
With  noble  purposes  and  firm  resolves: 

This  gateway  is  erected  by 
ANDREW  DICKSON  WHITE

West  Tablet: 

"So  enter 

That  daily  thou  mayst  become 
More  learned  and  thoughtful: 

So  depart 

That  daily  thou  mayst  become 
More  useful  to  thy  Country  and  mankind." 

FAVORITE  PLACES,  SHRINES  AND  MEMORIALS 

The  Goldwin  Smith  walk  around  Cascadilla  Gorge,  and  Lover's  Walk  to 
Forest  Home,  on  the  bank  of  Fall  Creek,  are  the  favorite  walks  around  Cornell. 

The  entrance  gates,  the  gift  of  President  White;  the  stone  arched  bridge 
over  Cascadilla  Gorge,  the  gift  of  William  H.  Sage;  the  Sheldon  seat,  the  Goldwin

statue  of  President  White,  the  bell  given  by  Rev.  Robert  Collyer  to  Sibley  Col- 
lege, the  Alaskan  totem-pole,  and  the  rows  of  beautiful  elm  trees  are  among 
Cornell's  most  prominent  out-door  memorials.  There  is  the  Memorial  Chapel 
with  the  reclining  statues,  stained-glass  memorial  windows,  and  memorial  tablets. 

The  Sage  Chapel  proper  contains  the  beautiful  Sage  Memorial  Apse,  and 
many  stained  glass  memorial  windows,  and  memorial  tablets  of  brass  and  marble. 

Then  there  is  the  life-size  bronze  statue  of  Moses,  the  gift  of  President  White, 
which  stands  in  the  White  Library,  where  is  also  the  porcelain  vase  given  to 
President  White  by  the  Emperor  of  Germany  when  the  Ambassador  left  Berlin. 

Then  there  are  the  two  beautifully  carved  chairs  for  use  at  Commencements, 
one  for  the  President,  the  other  for  the  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Trustees. 

There  is  the  Sheldon  marble  memorial  seat.

There  is  the  bell  that  Rev.  Robert  Collyer  brought  from  England  and  gave 
to  Sibley  College.  It  hung  over  a  blacksmith  shop  and  called  him  to  work  when 
he  was  an  apprentice. 

Many  paths  have  been  built  along  the  sides  of  the  banks  of  Cascadilla  Gorge, 
and  to  the  bottom  of  the  Gorge,  just  below,  and  also  some  near  to  Trip-Hammer 
Falls,  from  money  contributed  in  recent  years,  by  the  alumni;  these  paths 
make  Beebe  Lake  more  accessible,  and  also  gives  an  opportunity  to  view  the 
falls  from  the  depths  of  the  Gorge.  New  paths  have  also  been  built,  and  old 
paths  repaired  in  varoius  other  gorges  and  glens  on  the  Campus,  and  the  banks 
of  the  streams  have  been  cleared  of  debris.  The  bank  of  Beebe  Lake  is  a  favorite 
resort  for  picnic  parties  in  summer. 


THE  FISKE  WILL  SUIT 

John  McGraw  died  May  4,  1877,  leaving  all  of  his  property  to  his  only  child, 
Jennie  McGraw,  who  afterwards  married  Professor  Willard  Fiske  of  Cornell. 

At  her  death,  without  issue,  she  left  $300,000  to  her  husband,  and  several 
large  gifts  to  her  other  relatives,  amounting  in  all  to  nearly  $1,000,000,  and 
made  Cornell  University  the  residuary  legatee  of  the  remainder  of  her  property, 
estimated  to  be  worth  $1,500,000,  for  a  library  and  its  support,  and  for  a  uni- 
versity hospital.  Had  this  bequest  been  carried  out,  it  would  have  given  to 
Cornell  one  of  the  largest  libraries  in  the  world. 

Professor  Fiske,  although  he  had  signed  an  ante-nuptial  agreement  not  to 
interfere  with  the  control  or  disposition  of  his  wife's  property,  became  grieved 
over  certain  personal  matters  and  brought  suit  to  break  the  will. 

He  soon  afterwards  associated  his  wife's  relatives  with  him  in  the  suit.  The 
contestants,  by  their  counsel,  David  B.  Hill,  claimed: 

I.  That  the  Charter  of  the  University  limited  the  amount  of  property, 
which  it  could  hold,  to  $3,000,000,  and  that  it  already  held  that  amount. 

II.  That  she  had  given  more  than  one-half  of  her  property  to  a  charitable 
institution,  contrary  to  the  provisions  of  law. 

The  University  contended,  by  Samuel  D.  Halliday,  70,  and  Judge  Edwin 
Countryman,  of  Albany : 

I.  That  the  University  did  not  own  $3,000,000  worth  of  property,  nor  any- 
where near  that  amount,  and  therefore  it  could  receive  the  whole,  or  nearly 
all  of  the  bequest.     That  the  Western  lands,  given  by  the  U.  S.  Government, 
were  only  held  in  trust, and  were  not  therefore,  a  part  of  their  absolute  possessions. 

II.  That  she  had  not  given  more  than  one-half  of  her  property  to  a  chari- 
table institution.    That  her  estate,  instead  of  being  free,  was  encumbered  with 
great  debts,  which  made  its  value  much  less  than  was  generally  supposed. 

Judge  Douglas  Boardman  was  the  executor  of  her  will,  as  well  as  that  of 
her  father. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  LXVII 

The  Surrogate  sustained  the  will  but  the  New  York  Supreme  Court  reversed 
his  decision,  which  latter  view  was  confirmed  by  the  New  York  Court  of  Appeals, 
and  the  United  States  Supreme  Court. 

David  B.  Hill  retired  from  the  case  on  becoming  Lieutenant  Governor  and 
ex  officio  trustee  of  the  University,  and  Judge  George  F.  Comstock,  of  Syracuse, 
took  his  place.  U.  S.  Senator  George  F.  Edmunds  appeared  for  the  University 
in  Court  at  Washington.  The  decision  of  the  Court  was  that  the  portion  of  the 
Western  lands  for  which  Ezra  Cornell  paid  30  cents  per  acre  was  a  trust,  but 
the  surplus  was  not  a  trust,  and  therefore,  Cornell  University  already  owned 
$3,000,000  worth  of  property  and  could  not  take  any  under  the  will. 

THE  GREAT  TYPHOID  FEVER  EPIDEMIC 

This  commenced  in  February,  1903,  and  was  one  of  the  largest  in  history. 
There  were  over  one  thousand  cases.  There  were  fifty-two  deaths,  about  one- 
half  of  them  being  among  students. 

The  waters  of  Six  Mile  Creek,  which  supplies  Ithaca  with  drinking  water, 
became  polluted  by  the  sickness,  with  typhoid  fever,  of  a  laborer  on  its  banks, 
while  building  the  Ithaca  Water  Works'  upper  dam.  The  hospitals  were  crowded 
and  extra  nurses  were  called  from  other  near-by  cities  to  help.  Many  private 
homes  were  filled  with  the  sick.  Many  poor  students  lost  all  their  money  but 
were  reimbursed  by  Andrew  Carnegie. 

The  University  faculty  generously  allowed  the  students  who  had  been  ill 
the  highest  credit  in  scholarship  that  they  could  afford,  so  that  many  were  en- 
abled to  graduate  who  might  not  otherwise  have  been  able  to  do  so. 

There  were  no  sick  persons  among  those  who  drank  from  the  University 
water  plant. 

The  Ithaca  Water  Works  Plant  was  purchased  by  the  city  soon  afterwards 
by  vote  of  the  tax-payers,  and  it  now  has  filtration.  The  University  also  has  a 
filtration  plant,  the  gift  of  Andrew  Carnegie,  soon  after  the  fever  epidemic. 

One  Ithaca  newspaper  thought  it  was  doing  its  duty  in  suppressing  news 
of  the  great  epidemic  because  it  would  hurt  Cornell  and  Ithaca  and  keep  intend- 
ing visitors  away.  The  other  paper  published  all  the  facts  and  especially  was 
prompt  in  announcing  any  new  cases.  Perhaps  both  were  right. 

LEST  WE  FORGET 

The  early  death  of  Professor  Charles  Frederick  Hartt  in  Brazil,  while  con- 
ducting explorations  for  the  government  of  that  country  caused  great  gloom  at 
Cornell. 

Professor  Ross  G.  Marvin,  '05,  had  accompanied  Peary  on  one  of  his  Arctic 
expeditions,  and  went  down  to  New  York  to  say  good-bye  to  the  members  of 
another,  but  the  lure  was  too  strong  and  he  asked  and  obtained  leave  from  the 
University  to  go.  While  alone  with  his  Esquimau  companions,  he  sank  from 
sight  in  the  Arctic  waters  and  was  never  seen  again.  Captain  Peary  spoke  at 
the  unveiling  of  a  tablet  to  his  memory  in  Sage  Chapel.

Then  there  was  the  death  of  eight  young  men  in  the  Fiske  mansion  fire. 
Memorial  windows  to  them,  appear  in  Sage  Chapel.  The  inscription  on  one  of

Then  there  are  the  losses  by  drowning  in  Cayuga  Lake  and  other  waters 
about  Cornell. 

There  was  the  death  by  his  own  hand  of  Dean  E.  W.  Huffcut,  on  a  Hudson 
River  steamer.  He  was  popular,  but  very  sensitive,  and  feared  that  his  pet 
measure,  the  Public  Service  Commission  Bill,  would  fail,  but  it  went  through. 
His  successor  as  Dean  is  a  member  of  that  Commission. 

Then  there  was  Professor  Willard  Fiske;  his  heart  was  true  to  Cornell  and 
at  the  end  he  gave  to  it  his  all. 

CORNELL  CASUALTIES 

Frederick  Gordon  Rew,  '97,  a  freshman  from  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  disappeared 
in  September,  1903,  from  Cornell.  His  father  was  State  Secretary  of  the  Good 
Templars.  The  boy's  parents  insisted  that  he  had  been  murdered,  presumably 
by  tramps,  though  he  had  but  little  money.  After  a  two  years  search  he  was 
found  at  the  Island  of  Ceylon  when  a  tramp  cattle-steamer  on  which  he  worked 
his  passage,  arrived  there.  He  claimed  to  be  a  victim  of  Aphasia.  He  claimed 
that  while  walking  along  the  shore  of  Cayuga  Lake  he  suddenly  forgot  his  own 
name  and  identity  and  wandered  about  the  earth.  He  did  not  try  to  conceal 
his  name  when  he  shipped  as  a  helper,  and  thus  was  found  by  the  Pinkertons 
and  confronted  with  his  own  photograph  and  came  to  his  right  senses. 

Instructor  Lucius  S.  Merriam  of  Cornell  and  Mary  L.  Yeargin,  '96,  of 
South  Carolina,  disappeared  while  out  rowing  on  Cayuga  Lake,  Nov.  17,  1893. 
Her  body  was  recovered. 

At  one  time  a  few  years  ago,  two  young  men  and  two  young  women,  all 
Cornell  students,  were  drowned  by  the  overturning  of  a  canoe  near  the  light- 
house. Their  bodies  were  recovered. 

Several  years  ago,  February  20th,  1894,  Mrs.  Henrietta  Jackson,  a  colored 
woman,  was  poisoned  by  chlorine  gas,  while  some  sophomores  were  trying  to 
break  up  a  freshman  class  supper.  The  perpetrators  of  the  crime  were  arrested. 
The  presiding  Supreme  Court  Judge  told  the  Grand  Jury  it  was  merely  a  harm- 
less student  prank  or  words  to  that  effect,  for  which  the  New  York  World 
mercilessly  scored  him  editorially.  Professor  Charles  A.  Collin  told  his  law 
class  that  it  was  murder. 

The  burning  of  the  Fiske  mansion,  Dec.  7,  1906,  was  a  great  calamity  be- 
cause of  the  death  of  eight  persons,  directly  and  indirectly  caused  by  the  fire, 
several  of  them  Cornell  undergraduates,  and  one  of  them,  Alfred  S.  Robinson, 
'97,  a  former  law  student.

When  the  A.  T.  O.  fraternity  lodge  burned  at  the  corner  of  University  and 
Stewart  Avenues,  the  Treasurer  of  the  fraternity  was  suffocated.  This  fire 
occurred  at  the  noon  hour  and  during  a  "Junior  Week,"  a  few  years  ago. 

After  repeated  warnings  from  President  Schurman  and  Coach  Charles  E. 
Courtney  to  be  careful  on  Cayuga  Lake  and  avoid  sudden  squalls  and  especially 
to  keep  out  of  canoes,  and  sending  word  to  the  parents  of  students  and  requiring 
their  consent  before  the  women  students  could  go  on  Cayuga  Lake,  there  have 
been  few  accidents  and  they  not  serious. 

A  student  was  drowned  in  the  experimental  canal,  and  another  near  its 
mouth  in  Beebe  Lake. 

Emil  Schwertfeger,  78,  committed  suicide  in  1877,  because  the  physicians 
said  that  if  he  continued  to  study  hard  he  would  lose  his  eye-sight.  He  had 
been  a  prize-winner  for  Cornell  in  the  Intercollegiate  Literary  Contest. 

Dean  Ernest  W.  Huffcut,  '84,  with  brilliant  prospects,  took  his  own  life, 
in  1907,  on  a  Hudson  River  steamer. 

Professor  Ross  G.  Marvin  '05,  was  lost  in  the  Arctic. 

By  the  burning  of  the  steamer  "Frontenac"  on  Cayuga  Lake,  near  Farley's 
Point,  on  the  east  shore  in  July,  1907,  there  were  eight  women  drowned,  two  of 
them  Cornell  Summer  School  students.  They  were  forced  by  the  officers  to 
jump  off  the  boat  to  save  being  burned.  A  high  wind  caused  high  waves  of  water 
and  the  life-preservers  did  not  save  them.  Some  were  badly  burned  by  being 
forced  by  the  wind  and  waves  against  the  side  of  the  burning  steamer. 


DRAMATIC  INTERESTS 

The  Masque  is  an  association  of  men  students  for  the  promotion  and  pro-

The  Savage  Club  entertains  many  of  the  leading  visiting  members  of  the 
theatrical  profession. 

The  Cornell  women  students  also  have  a  dramatic  association  which  recently 
presented  "Quality  Street." 

There  have  been  several  Cornellians  who  have  become  prominent  on  the 
stage,  and  also  as  playwrights,  including  Frank  R.  Luckey,  '81,  who  took  part 
in  "Pinafore"  in  his  student  days,  and  is  now  a  Congregational  minister;  Stephen 
T.  King,  '88,  actor-manager;  Robert  L.  Dempster,  '04,  in  legitimate;  Tripp 
Davey,  '09,  in  musical  comedy.  Rennold  Wolf,  '92,  has  become  a  famous  play- 
wright. 

The  Lyceum  theatre  was  provided  by  several  wealthy  Ithacans,  who  never 
expected,  and  never  received,  any  dividends  upon  their  investment. 

There  is  also  one  large  moving-picture  and  vaudeville  house,  with  two  more 
about  to  be  built,  the  Crescent  on  North  Aurora  Street  near  the  corner  of  Buf-

falo  Street,  and  The  Strand,  on  East  State  Street,  just  east  of  Aurora  Street. 
Because  of  faculty  and  student  patronage,  Ithaca  is  considered  one  of  the  best 
one-night  stand  show  towns  in  the  country,  the  local  managers  having  brought 
first  class  attractions. 

Said  a  Cornell  student  one  day: 
"This  'Blue  Jeans'  I  think  will  be  gay, 

And  so  to  the  show, 

To-night  I  will  go.' 
And  he  asked  for  a  ticket  in  A. 

But  Gutstadt  looked  up  in  a  flutter, 
'You've  mistaken  the  date/  he  did  mutter; 

"Tis  a  lecture  to-day 

For  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.' 
And  they  carried  him  out  on  a  shutter."

REMINISCENCES  OF  CORNELL 

There  has  been  a  division  of  opinion  among  the  alumni  over  the  advisability 
of  conferring  honorary  degrees.  There  have  been  so  many  conferred  at  some 
other  colleges,  as  a  reward  for  gifts  or  for  favors  to  come,  or  from  favoritism, 
that  the  custom  met  with  disfavor  at  Cornell.  However,  the  Doctorate  of  Laws 
was  conferred,  in  1886,  on  President  White  of  Cornell,  and  President  David 
Starr  Jordan,  an  alumnus.  The  alumni,  in  meeting  assembled,  having  dis- 
approved the  conferring  of  any  more,  the  recipients  offered  to  return  them,  but 
the  offer  was  not  accepted. 

When  the  University  opened  it  was  supposed  that  the  number  of  applicants 
for  admission  would  be  about  fifty  and  so  when  three  hundred  applied  the  au- 
thorities were  not  well  prepared  to  examine  so  many  very  carefully.  The  ex- 
amination took  place  in  Military  Hall  in  the  basement  of  the  Cornell  Library 
building. 

At  first  only  the  A.B.  degree  was  given  but  the  Classical  students  insisted 
that  only  those  who  had  taken  Latin  and  Greek  ought  to  have  that  degree, 
so  the  second  graduating  class  had  some  candidates  for  the  B.S.  degree. 

One  of  the  early  professors  at  Cornell  was  William  Channing  Russell,  its 
only  Vice-President.  He  was  one  of  the  oldest  members  of  the  faculty  and 
had  the  duties  of  Acting  President  thrust  upon  him,  without  the  authority  of 
a  President. 

President  White  once  received  a  letter  from  a  country  bank  president,  say- 
ing that  from  the  reports  that  he  had  received  about  Cornell  University,  that 
he  would  not  "patronize"  Cornell,  but  would  send  his  son  to  another  college. 
The  President  wrote  back  and  told  him  that  the  patronage  was  all  on  the  Uni- 
versity side — that  it  cost  three  or  four  times  as  much  to  educate  a  young  man 
at  Cornell,  as  was  received  from  him  in  tuition.

There  was  great  excitement  at  the  Agricultural  College  when  the  prize  bull

President  Schurman  showed  good  foresight  when  he  had  a  ground-plan

Who  among  the  early  professors  and  students  can  ever  forget  Jefferson 
Beardsley  and  his  studio  ?  The  latter  stood  on  Linn  Street  at  the  foot  of  Uni- 
versity Aveune,  on  the  south  bank  of  Cascadilla  Creek,  near  a  beautiful  water- 
fall. He  was  a  true  artist  and  many  of  his  photographs  of  the  early  Cornell 
crews  and  of  their  individual  members  appeared  in  Harpers  Weekly  and  other 
periodicals  of  that  time. 

A  certain  member  of  '78,  attended  a  faculty  "Seance."  When  he  came  out 
of  the  room  he  was  trembling  and  scared,  and  when  some  one  asked  him  what 
time  it  was,  fumbled  at  his  watch  and  answered  "Thirteen  o'clock." 

A  certain  Professor  was  one  day  telling  his  class  in  German  about  Goethe. 
He  said,  "About  this  time  Goethe  fell  in  love  with  a  rich  banker's  daughter  in 
New  York."  Then  realizing  that  he  was  telling  his  own  love-story  he  colored 
up  and  dismissed  the  class. 

Professor  Othon  G.  Guerlac,  although  an  American  citizen,  is  now  fighting

Joshua  Hurst,  an  Englishman,  was  the  janitor  of  the  Museum  in  the  early 
days.  About  1878  the  students  subscribed  the  money  for  himself  and  wife  to

"Kitty  Clyde,"  selling  to  the  students  for  many  years,  pure  sweet  cider,  which 
he  himself  had  made,  is  now  no  more;  he  sleeps  with  his  fathers  in  the  little 
cemetery  by  the  white  church,  on  Snyder  Hill. 

One  member  of  the  Class  of  '76,  from  New  York  City,  hired  Dodsworth's 
famous  New  York  Band  for  the  Commencement  of  his  class  and  paid  the  ex- 
pense out  of  his  own  pocket. 

The  Freshman  Class  of  '88  started  for  Auburn,  to  hold  their  class  banquet; 
the  sophomores  lined  up  across  their  path  at  the  "Inlet,"  with  stockings  filled 
with  lamp-black,  which  they  used  with  telling  effect.  However,  the  class  reached 
Auburn  all  right  and  had  their  banquet.  Freshman  President  Williams,  '87, 
was  kidnapped,  but  his  captors  became  alarmed,  and,  on  the  promise  not  to 
prosecute  them  criminally,  he  was  allowed  to  return  in  time  to  preside  at  the 
class  banquet. 

Benjamin  Ide  Wheeler  said  once,  at  a  University  alumni  banquet,  that 
things  were  somewhat  "mixed"  at  Cornell,  with  blacksmith  shops  and  horse- 
doctors,  etc.  He  is  now  President  of  the  University  of  California,  where  things 
are  "mixed"  very  much  as  at  Cornell.

President  White,  just  before  his  departure  for  Berlin  as  American  Minister, 
gave  two  receptions,  one  to  the  senior  class,  '79,  the  other  to  the  junior  class,  '80, 
at  his  residence. 

The  Cascadilla  Gorge  had  only  a  foot-bridge,  down  near  the  bottom,  be- 
tween Cascadilla  Building  and  the  Campus  proper,  and  many  a  time  when 
some  dignified  profesor  tried  to  preserve  his  equilibrium  in  walking  down  the 
banks  on  either  side,  his  footing  would  give  way  and  he  would  slide  ungracefully 
down  the  incline  to  the  bottom,  while  the  students  grinned. 

A  student  once  told  Rev.  Dr.  W.  D.  Wilson  that  if  he  would  read  backward 
his  lecture  on  the  History  of  Philosophy,  he  would  have  the  Philosophy  of  History. 

Professor  James  E.  Oliver  will  be  remembered  for  his  habit  of  forgetfulness. 
On  one  occasion  he  stated  in  his  class-room  that  he  had  forgotten  his  watch; 
then  he  felt  in  his  pocket  for  it  to  see  if  he  had  time  before  the  roll-call  to  go  and 
fetch  it. 

Thomas  Frederick  Crane  was  a  young  lawyer  in  Judge  F.  M.  Finch's  law 
office,  became  private  secretary  to  Ezra  Cornell,  and  was  chosen  Assistant  Pro- 
fessor of  South  European  Languages.  He  is  now  one  of  the  few  surviving  mem- 
bers of  the  original  faculty.  He  built  the  third  or  fourth  house  on  the  Campus, 
in  which  he  still  lives. 

Professor  Hiram  Corson  wrote  "An  Introduction  to  Browning"  for  $1.00  A 
fellow  commenting  on  this  said  that  he  wouldn't  take  an  introduction  to  hJTn

President  White  showed  great  patience  in  sitting  for  his  statue.  He  had  to 
go  to  New  York  City  and  sit  in  the  open  air  and  be  photographed  a  great  many 
times.  Karl  Bitter,  the  sculptor,  was  soon  afterwards  killed  by  being  run  over 
by  an  automobile. 

SOME  OPINIONS,  COMMENTS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

"Alumni  retain  and  somewhat  liberally  exercise  the  traditional  privilege  of 
all  children  to  freely  criticise  the  ways  of  the  household.  Sometimes  their  fault- 
finding is  but  the  result  of  their  jealous  regard  for  the  honor  of  their  college 
and  an  indirect  expression  of  the  fervor  of  their  zeal  for  its  more  abundant  pros-

The  statements  made,  and  the  opinions  expressed  in  this  work,  are  not  the 
official  views  of  the  University,  but  only  those  of  the  author;  they  may  be  mis- 
taken, but  they  are  honest;  care  has  been  taken  not  to  say  anything  personal 
which  would  offend  the  most  sensitive  about  any  person,  now  or  ever,  connected 
with  the  University.  The  author  is  very  zealous  for  the  honor  and  good  name 
of  the  University  and  everybody  at  any  time  connected  with  it  as  officer,  teacher, 
or  student. 

With  an  acquaintance  of  forty  years  with  Cornell,  and  as  an  observant  citi- 
zen of  Ithaca,  we  have  formed  some  opinions  about  university  affairs.  There 
have  been  many  mooted  questions  of  policy,  and  there  have  been  many  critical 
times  in  the  affairs  of  Cornell,  now  happily  tided  over,  and  we  shall  not  even 
refer  to  them  except  incidentally.

Our  face  is  turned  towards  the  bright  future  of  Cornell.  We  would  write 
the  story  of  Cornell  on  its  human  and  personal  side,  like  a  Fourth  of  July  ora- 
tion all  the  way  through,  if  we  had  a  large  enough  vocabulary  and  the  proper 
power  of  expression.  Optimism  about  everything  Cornellian  is  the  key-note 
of  our  story.  The  world  is  growing;  Cornell  is  growing.  If  she  remains  a  private 
institution,  and  shakes  off  every  attempt  to  make  of  her  a  State  University; 
if  the  successors  of  the  present  Faculty  and  Board  of  Trustees  keep  up  ideals, 
traditions  and  precepts  of  the  founder  and  his  co-workers;  if  Cornell  remains 
progressive,  and  allows  no  religious  denomination  to  control  her,  or  money- 
power  octopus  to  fasten  its  tentacles  about  her,  she  may  be  the  greatest  of  the 
great  universities  of  the  future. 

We  notice  in  one  of  President  Schurman's  Reports  that  he  attacks  athletics 
pretty  hard.  We  hope  that  time  has  softened  the  asperity  of  his  utterances  on 
that  subject.  The  great  success  of  Cornell  in  that  field  ought  to  cause  our  great 
hearted  president  to  put  his  foot  on  the  soft  pedal.  Athletic  victories  bring  many 
new  students  to  Cornell.  Athletics  ought  to  be,  of  course,  only  an  incident  in 
a  young  person's  education,  as  President  Schurman  stoutly  maintains. 

The  author  was  advised  to  say  nothing  about  athletics  in  his  book.  Leave 
out  Courtney  and  those  glorious  days  at  Saratoga  and  Poughkeepsie  ?  Never! 

To  write  a  complete  history  of  Cornell  University  and  do  justice  to  the  sub- 
ject, with  all  its  various  interests,  would  require  years  of  hard  study,  and  a  com- 
prehensive mind  and  felicity  of  expression,  which  the  writer  does  not  claim  to 


The  first  part  of  this  book  was  written  under  pressure,  figuratively  speaking, 
and  we  hope  for  that  reason  any  defects  may  be  overlooked.  The  author  in- 
tended to  write  only  about  "Distinguished  Cornellians,"  and  then  he  thought 
it  would  not  look  well  to  tell  all  about  the  children  without  saying  something 
about  Alma  Mater.  In  other  words  the  historical  part  of  this  work  was  written 
hastily,  and  only  after  conferring  with  some  literary  and  scholarly  friends,  in 
whom  the  author  had  confidence,  and  from  whom  he  received  encouragement 
to  write  also  some  historical  notes  and  reminiscences.  There  will  be  found  few 
statistics  and  few  dates,  as  there  are  other  places  where  those  facts  can  be  found. 

Some  reader  may  say  that  this  story  is  largely  a  biography  of  President 
White,  because  his  name  appears  frequently.  Very  well,  he  is  one  of  the  great 
men  of  the  age;  the  Great  Idea  of  a  Liberal  University  was  original  with  Ezra 
Cornell  and  Andrew  D.  White.  As  Minerva  sprang  full-armed  from  the  brain 
of  Jove,  so  this  plan  sprang  full-matured  from  their  brain  and  hearts.  Other 
colleges  evoluted  from  the  needs  of  religious  denominations  for  an  educated 
ministry,  but  the  "Cornell  Idea"  was  different.  The  noble  example  of  Ezra  Cor- 
nell undoubtedly  influenced  other  wealthy  persons  to  found  colleges.  Take,  for 
example,  Senator  Leland  Stanford;  he  came  to  Cornell  to  find  a  President  for 
his  new  university  and  found  him  in  the  person  of  David  Starr  Jordan,  '72. 

The  success  of  Cornell  University,  situated  as  it  is  so  far  from  the  great 
centers  of  wealth,  is  due  to  the  confidence  of  parents,  and  men  and  women  of 
wealth  in  President  White  and  President  Schurman,  and  to  the  fact  that  the 
"Cornell  Idea"  is  absolutely  right. 


LXXIV  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

There  was  once  a  poor  young  man  in  San  Francisco  who  wanted  to  attend 
Harvard.  He  had  no  money  to  pay  for  travel  so  he  "hoboed"  it  on  trains  till 
he  reached  Cambridge,  his  destination.  When  the  Harvard  Alumni  Association 
of  his  home  city  heard  of  it  they  said  that,  if  they  had  known  it  in  advance, 
they  would  have  cheerfully  paid  his  transportation,  and  they  immediately  took 
hold  and  helped  him  financially  through  his  course. 

There  are  plenty  of  young  men  and  women  too,  who  feel  that  way  about 
attending  Cornell,  and  it  is  too  bad  that  they  cannot  be  reached  and  helped. 
There  ought  to  be  a  Committee  of  the  Alumni,  or  a  University  Commissioner, 
to  look  after  such  cases.  Many  students  try  the  examinations  in  their  home 
counties  for  the  State  Scholarships  at  Cornell  and  then,  if  unsuccessful,  attend 
some  other  college.  The  Committee  could  look  after  such  cases  and  bring  them 
into  the  Cornell  fold.  Wealthy  men  and  women  could  not  use  their  money 
to  a  better  purpose  than  to  help  such  cases. 

We  are  not  the  Committee  on  the  Semi-Centennial  Celebration,  nor  even 
a  member  of  the  committee,  but  we  venture  this  opinion,  namely:  That  with 
nearly  35,000  alumni,  if  only  ten  or  twenty  per  cent  of  that  number  attends 
the  Grand  Reunion,  together  with  the  6,000  or  more  undergraduates,  there'll 
be  a  whole  lot  of  enthusiasm  and  noise,  when  that  great  number  gets  together, 
notwithstanding  the  desire  for  quiet  and  scholarly  exercises,  by  the  authorities . 

We  would  like  to  see  some  concrete  example  of  the  love  and  gratitude  of 
Cornellians  for  their  Alma  Mater  shown,  either  by  the  gift  of  a  large  sum  of 
money  for  an  endowment,  or  by  the  erection  of  some  grand  buildings.  If  it  is 
to  be  a  building,  like  a  great  Alumni  Hall,  for  instance,  we  would  like  to  see  it 
built  and  used  on  that  great  occasion. 

The  recognition  of  the  fact  that  students  need  a  good  literary  preparation, 
a  year  or  two  in  college,  before  taking  up  the  study  of  the  learned  professions, 
as  law  or  medicine,  or  a  technical  profession,  as  engineering,  is  a  move  in  the 
right  direction. 

Cornell  should  have  bought  Cornell  Heights  and  Cayuga  Heights,  for  future 
expansion.  Columbia  has  12,000  students,  and  there  are  two  or  three  other 
universities  that  have  nearly  as  many.  Cornell  has  only  about  6,000  students. 
There  is  nothing  to  prevent  Cornell  from  having  12,000  or  20,000  students, 
except  money  for  buildings  and  apparatus,  and  professors'  salaries. 

The  "Cornell  Idea"  is  right  and  has  been  approved  and  we  may  confidently 
look  forward  to  a  time,  near  at  hand,  when  we  will  get  more  help  from  the  State, 
and  from  the  National  Government  for  the  Military  Department,  and  from 
private  individuals. 

The  memorable  scene  at  the  opening  of  the  University  ought  to  be  commem- 
orated by  a  pageant,  with  moving-picture  adjunct,  at  the  semi-centennial  cele- 
bration. 

While  the  study  of  law  in  a  Law  School  is  valuable,  yet  the  theoretical  side, 
as  the  laws  of  New  York  wisely  provide,  should  be  supplemented  by  study  in 
a  practicing  lawyer's  office;  for  example,  a  person  cannot  learn  to  swim  by  read-

ing  how  out  of  a  book;  he  must  plunge  into  the  water  and  learn  how  by  ex- 
perience. The  increase  in  the  requirements  for  admission  from  time  to  time 
has  always  been  a  move  in  the  right  direction. 

We  always  feel  like  cheering  when  Cornell's  President  announces  another 
gift.  May  his  persuasive  voice  continue  to  be  heard  by  the  rich  and  charitably 
inclined,  for  many  years  to  come! 

Ithaca  has  the  largest  per  cent  of  educated  people  of  any  city  in  the  country. 

Bismarck  said  that  university  men  thought  on  graduation  that  they  were 
qualified  to  be  Governor  of  a  Province  at  least. 

It  is  said  that  a  Professor  in  Smith  College  (for  women)  resigned  recently 
because  three-fourths  of  his  class  were  Anarchists,  Socialists,  or  Suffragists. 
This  is  "interesting,"  if  true. 

It  is  said  that  the  favorite  author  among  college  men  is  Jack  London,  the 
Socialist. 

It  seems  too  bad  that  Cornellians  who  are  worthy  of  honorary  degrees,  must 
look  to  some  other  institution  to  confer  them. 


THE  PAST  QUARTER  OF  A  CENTURY 

"We  are  doing  something  now!" 

These  are  the  words  of  a  trustee  a  few  years  ago.  The  occasion  was  the 
establishment  by  the  State  of  buildings  for  the  College  of  Agriculture.  As  Presi- 
dent White  predicted  this  event  started  a  mild  "boom"  at  Cornell,  in  the  line 
of  buildings  and  additions  to  the  University's  landed  domain,  and  endowment. 
Cornell  University  is  now  a  great  corporation.  This  has  its  advantages  and  dis- 
advantages. In  the  old  days  when  it  was  smaller  there  was  a  closer  contact 
between  the  head  teachers  and  the  students 

During  nearly  the  entire  period  of  the  past  twenty-five  years  President 
Schurman  has  been  at  the  head  of  affairs,  though  it  seems  only  a  short  time 
ago  that  he  commenced  his  duties  as  President.  During  this  period  the  Uni- 
versity added  to  its  possesions,  among  others,  these  new  buildings:  Goldwin 
Smith,  Rockefeller,  and  Stimson  Halls,  the  new  Sibley  Dome  Building  , Robert's 
Hall,  the  Agronomy  and  Dairy  Buildings,  the  Hydraulic  Laboratory,  the  new 
Power  House  and  tunnel  to  it  from  Beebe  Lake,  the  Carnegie  Filter  Plant, 
the  rebuilt  Sage  Chapel,  Alumni  Field,  the  opening  and  grading  of  West  Avenue, 
the  establishment  of  a  central  heating  plant;  besides  the  new  Veterinary  College 
buildings,  and  the  many  new  Agricultural  College  buildings,  and  heating  plant, 
the  new  Armory,  Schoellkopf  Memorial  for  athletic  training;  and  last,  but 
not  least,  the  Medical  College  Buildings  in  New  York  City,  and  the  Men's  Dor- 
mitories. 

The  story  of  Cornell  seems  to  be  just  one  thing  after  another,  as  the  saying 
is,  building  after  building,  endowments  upon  endowments,  a  perfect  shower  of 
gifts,  and  progress  all  along  the  line. 


LXXVI  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

President  Schurman  says  that  the  wave  of  Co-education  has  reached  its 
height. 

Some  Cornell  graduates  say  that  the  postgraduates  at  Cornell  do  not  belong 
to  any  regular  class;  that  they  belong  to  some  class  at  some  other  college.  How- 
ever, the  writer  attached  their  names  at  the  bottom  of  the  class  in  which  they 
took  their  advanced  degrees. 

Also  some  Cornell  graduates  object  to  the  Special  students  being  assigned 
to  any  class,  that  they  are  running  "Wildcat,"  so  to  speak  in  railroad  language, 
but  we  attach  them  at  the  foot  of  the  class  in  the  year  in  which  they  attended 
Cornell.  The  reason  for  this  is  obvious,  that  regular  graduates  are  jealous  of 
their  prerogatives,  on  questions  of  precedence,  etc.,  etc. 


SUMMING  UP 

"Cornell  University  is  the  largest  educational  plant  in  America." 

— ANSON  P.  STOKES. 

The  teaching  force  at  the  opening  numbered  23  resident  professors,  and 
assistant  professors.  In  1913-14  it  numbered  750. 

The  number  of  students  at  the  beginning  was  300.  In  1881-2,  it  was  down 
as  low  as  312,  but  in  a  few  years  the  number  increased  till  it  reached  its  former 
record.  In  1914-15  it  was  6,496. 

Cornell  now  has  entering  classes  of  over  1,000.  There  have  been  more  than 
27,000  students  in  attendance. 

The  number  of  buildings  at  the  opening  was  2.  There  are  now  80  buildings 
among  them  Goldwin  Smith  and  Prudence  Risley  Halls,  which  are  fine,  modern 
college  buildings.  Then  there  are  48  fraternity  lodges,  which  help  to  solve  the 
dormitory  question.  The  library  contained  a  few  thousand  volumes.  In  1914- 
15,  it  had  423,570. 

The  original  Campus  has  been  enlarged  and  the  University's  landed  domain 
increased  by  the  purchase  of  many  farms  on  its  eastern  bounds,  and  now  com- 
prises 1,500  acres. 

The  first  money  amounted  to  $500,000,  and  then  we  had  the  unsold  Western 
lands  besides. 

The  productive  funds  in  1914-15  amounted  to  $13,973,542.  The  total  in- 
come in  1914-15  was  $2,425,781.  To  this  must  be  added  the  $4,200,000  endow- 
ment of  the  Medical  College  and  the  money  for  the  new  men's  dormitories, 

Cornell  is  no  longer  in  the  "experimental"  stage.  It  now  has  great  prestige 
and  popularity  and  many  new  colleges,  especially  in  the  Great  West  have  taken 
Cornell  for  their  model. 

Its  alumni  are  filling  with  honor  some  of  the  highest  positions  in  the  world. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  LXXVII 

The  following  is  taken  from  President  Schurman's  speech  before  the  Cornell 
Alumni  at  Buffalo,  February  19th,  1916: 

"The  total  income  of  the  University  as  a  whole,  including  moneys  received 
for  buildings  and  other  purposes,  was  in  1914-15  over  $3,000,000,  and  the  ex- 
penditures about  the  same.  The  total  income  of  the  university  for  normal 
operating  expenses  is  over  $2,000,000.  Two  million  dollars  make  a  large  an- 
nual expenditure.  But  for  the  maintenance  of  a  staff  of  over  600  teachers  and 
the  education  of  a  student  body  of  nearly  6,000  it  has  become  inadequate.  And 
the  University  is  seriously  in  need  of  additional  endowment  funds.  These  en- 
dowments are  needed  to  provide  first  of  all  adequate  salaries  for  professors  and 
other  members  of  the  instructing  staff,  so  that  the  very  best  scholars  and  sci- 
entists in  the  country  may  be  secured  and  held  at  the  University.  The  second 
object  for  which  moneys  are  now  needed  is  the  new  system  of  residential  halls 
for  the  young  men  on  which  a  beginning  has  already  been  made. 

"I  am  very  much  struck  with  the  way  in  which  Cornell  University  in  the 
forty-eight  years  of  its  existence  has  met  and  indeed  anticipated  the  intellectual 
wants  of  America.  First,  as  I  have  said,  it  was  the  recognition  of  pure  science 
to  a  place  in  the  University  curriculum  side  by  side  with  the  classics.  Then 
it  was  the  recognition  of  applied  science  and  engineering.  Later  came  the  recog- 
nition of  agriculture.  And  nowadays  when  everybody  is  talking  about  Pre- 
paredness, we  can  point  out  that  Cornell  University  ever  since  its  foundation 
has  been  preparing  its  students  by  the  requirement  of  military  drill  to  take  their 
part  in  the  defense  of  the  republic,  should  she  ever  be  in  need  of  it. 

"The  object  of  the  military  department  is  to  train  students  so  that  they 
may  qualify  as  officers  of  volunteers.  As  you  know,  a  professor — a  regular 
officer  of  the  U.  S.  Army — is  sent  to  us  by  the  War  Department,  and  the  War 
Department  annually  inspects  his  work.  This  inspector  in  his  last  report  stated 
that  Cornell  was  fitting  its  undergraduates  for  posts  as  officers  and  added  that 
'conditions  at  this  institution  could  not  be  better,  and  should  there  be  a  great 
need  for  volunteer  officers,  it  is  thought  that  Cornell  could  be  drawn  on  to  furnish 
a  reasonable  number.' 

"Milton  has  declared  that  the  object  of  a  higher  education  is  to  qualify 
young  men  in  times  of  peace  and  war  to  discharge  generously  and  magnani- 
mously all  the  duties  of  life.  In  view  of  what  I  have  stated,  I  think  we  may 
claim  that  Cornell  University  is  substantially  realizing  that  ideal." 

SEMI-CENTENNIAL  CELEBRATION  AND  GRAND  REUNION 

"Should  auld  acquaintance  be  forgot, 
And  never  brought  to  mind  ? 
Should  auld  acquaintance  be  forgot, 
And  days  of  auld  lang  syne  ? 

And  here's  a  hand,  my  trusty  frien', 
And  gie's  a  hand  o'  thine; 
We'll  tak'  a  cup  o'  Kindness  yet, 
For  auld  lang  syne."

The  trustees  have,  by  resolution,  designated  October  6th,  to  8th  inclusive, 
1918,  for  a  celebration  of  the  Semi-Centennial  Anniversary  of  the  Opening  of 
the  University.  The  main  events  will  be  held  on  the  second  day,  in  view  of  the 
fact  that  it  will  be  just  fifty  years  from  the  time  that  the  first  class  entered  the 
University. 

A  statue  of  Ezra  Cornell  will  be  unveiled  during  the  course  of  the  celebration, 
by  Andrew  Dickson  White. 

It  is  planned  to  raise  a  fund  of  $3,000,000  as  an  additional  endowment. 

But  little  time  during  the  celebration  will  be  devoted  to  the  past,  though 
the  history  of  the  institution  will  be  summarized.  The  key-note  of  the  affair 
will  be  future  development,  and  ideas  for  the  future  will  be  the  chief  considera- 
tion. 

The  gathering  for  the  celebration  will  be  one  of  the  greatest  meetings  of 
educational  authorities  ever  brought  together.  A  special  effort  will  be  made 
to  bring  together  on  this  occasion  as  many  of  the  alumni  as  possible  in  a  "Grand 
Reunion"  of  all  the  classes. 

A  PROPHECY  AND  A  TOAST 

We  are  not  a  prophet,  neither  are  we  the  son  of  a  prophet,  but it  seems 

only  a  few  years  ago  that  Cornellians  realized  that  their  gresteat  need  was  a 
large  auditorium  for  commencements  and  mass-meetings  of  students;  another 
was  men's  dormitories  and  an  additional  woman's  dormitory;  then  a  suitable 
athletic  field.  Now  we  have  them.  If  we  read  the  stars  aright,  great-hearted 
men  and  women  will  appear  in  the  near  future  and  provide  Cornell  with  more 
dormitories  for  men  and  for  women;  a  large  gymnasium  that  is  so  much  needed, 
an  athletic  club-house  for  "Kite  Hill,"  and  last,  but  not  least,  a  much  larger 
endowment.  The  alumni  will  also  build  an  Alumni  Hall.  There  will  be  many 
more  new  buildings  and  other  gifts,  as  more  fully  set  forth  in  our  next  article, 
a  fulfilment  of  the  prophecy. 

If  the  aforesaid  prediction  comes  as  true  as  one  the  author  made  about 
twenty  years  ago,  we  shall  consider  ourselves  considerable  of  a  prophet.  It 
was  published  in  an  Ithaca  paper  at  that  time  and  looked  as  impossible  as  the 
prediction  we  now  make  for  Cornell. 

Our  toast  is,  "To  A  Greater  And  More  Glorious  Cornell!"  We  mean  by 
this:  within  10  years,  more  great  and  beautiful  buildings,  1,000  professors, 
10,000  students,  and  in  the  valley  below  a  busy  city  of  30,000  people. 

LOOKING  FORWARD,  OR  CORNELL  IN  1931 

We  had  just  alighted  at  the  Cornell  Aerodome  on  "Kite  Hill"  from  a  Thomas 
flyer. 

You  see,  as  Ira  A.  Place,  '81,  had  predicted,  the  steam  locomotive  had  been 
abandoned  for  electric  motor-power  on  the  railroads,  but  even  then  travel  was 
too  slow.

An  Aviation  School  had  become  a  department  of  the  University. 

As  we  glanced  around  we  were  greatly  surprised  at  the  many  changes  and 
improvements  that  had  taken  place  on  the  Campus.  The  Administration  Build- 
ing loomed  up  large  at  the  right.  Cornell's  foundation  and  possessions  had  grown 
to  something  like  $40,000,000  and  the  University  had  to  have  larger  business 
quarters. 

Then  there  was  the  new  Karl  Bitter  College  of  Art  on  Cayuga  Heights.  The 
new  College  of  Music,  with  its  building,  was  situated  near  Prudence  Risley  Hall. 
The  new  Fuertes  Astronomical  Observatory,  with  one  of  the  largest  telescopes 
in  the  world,  had  been  built  on  a  sightly  elevation  just  north  of  Beebe  Lake. 
Then  there  was  the  new  Schiff  College  of  Commerce.  Henry  W.  Sage  Hall  was 
the  home  of  the  Sage  School  of  Philosophy.  Thurston  Hall  was  the  name  of 
one  of  the  new  buildings  of  the  Sibley  College  group.  The  new  White  Hall  was 
the  home  of  the  White  School  of  History  and  Political  Science.  There  was 
the  Bristol  School  of  Education  Building.  Then  there  was  Schurman  Hall, 
for  the  Graduate  School,  for  research.  Lincoln  Hall  for  the  College  of  Civil 
Engineering  had  been  greatly  enlarged.  The  University  Library  had  another 
wing  added  for  stacks  for  books.  Then  there  was  Babcock  Hall  for  the  College 
of  Architecture.  There  were  also  a  new  Hydraulic  Laboratory  and  a  Laboratory 
for  testing  materials.  The  Cornell  Summer  School  and  modern  Chautauqua 
now  occupied  a  group  of  new  buildings  at  Glenwood,  on  the  west  shore  of  Cayuga 
Lake. 

The  plans  which  President  Schurman  had  caused  to  be  made  years  before 
had  all  been  carried  out  and  the  old  Campus  all  covered  with  great  buildings 
and  the  University  grounds  were  extended  north  nearly  to  Rogues'  Harbor 
for  building  sites,  and  eastward  nearly  to  Dryden  for  farm  experimental  work 
and  the  support  of  the  Department. 

Through  the  influence  and  great  exertions  of  George  C.  Boldt,  George  F. 
Baker,  and  other  friends,  the  groups  of  Men's  Dormitories  had  long  since  been 
all  built  and  were  occupied. 

Several  more  women's  dormitories  were  added  to  Sage  College  and  Pru- 
dence Risley  Hall. 

The  new  million-dollar  Gymnasium  was  thought  to  be  the  latest  thing  in 
everything  for  the  development  of  indoor  athletics. 

The  Alumni  Hall  was  a  very  beautiful  building  where  the  old  graduates 
could  assemble  for  class  meetings  and  banquets,  and  also  have  rooms. 

The  College  of  Journalism  had  a  fine  building. 

The  faculty  numbered  more  than  1,000  and  there  were  more  than  10,000 
students  in  attendance. 

The  Armory  built  away  back  in  1916  was  not  nearly  large  enough  to  accom- 
modate the  Military  College,  established  under  the  bill  of  U.  S.  Senator  A.  B. 
Cummings,  passed  in  1916,  and  the  U.  S.  Government  had  built  several  new 
large  buildings  for  the  Military  Department.  The  fortifications  of  the  Cornell 


LXXX  '  DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS 

Coast  Artillery  loomed  up  on  Cayuga  Heights,  its  guns  sweeping  Cayuga  Lake 
for  twenty  miles.  They  looked  down  upon  and  protected  the  Cornell  Naval 
Training  School  at  Crowbar  Point  on  the  west  shore. 

The  New  York  Ship  Canal  had  been  completed,  and  the  swift,  light  draft 
cruisers  and  submarines  of  the  Naval  Fleets  of  the  Red  and  the  White,  com- 
manded by  Cornellians,  lay  in  plain  sight,  with  the  Cornell  aeroplanes  hovering 
over  them  to  protect  them. 

On  Cayuga  Heights  stood  one  of  the  largest  wireless  telegraph  stations  in 
the  country. 

The  boom  of  the  heavy  guns  of  battery  "Courtney"  on  the  strongly  fortified 
island  off  Union  Springs,  to  protect  the  mouth  of  the  Ship  Canal,  could  be  plainly 
heard  at  a  distance. 

A  crowd  of  super-war-correspondents  from  the  Matthews  School  of  Jour- 
nalism at  Cornell  hung  like  a  cloud  around  the  scene,  anxiously  awaiting  news 
of  war  developments. 

Departing  from  Cornell's  usual  rule  to  have  only  schools  at  Ithaca  under 
her  immediate  direction,  she  had  accepted  the  invitation  of  Trustee  Charles 
M.  Schwab  and  annexed  the  Bethlehem  Steel  Works,  for  turning  out  heavy 
ordnance,  as  an  auxilliary  to  our  fighting  strength,  and  its  machine  shops  were 
known  as  the  Schwab  School  of  Practical  Mechanics,  as  an  auxiliary  to  Cornell. 

The  Ithaca  Gun  Works  supplied  the  small  arms  to  equip  the  invincible  Cor- 
nell Army  and  Navy. 

The  Morse  Chain  Works  had  become  a  war  munitions  factory. 

Several  foreign  nations  had  threatened  war  with  our  country,  but,  upon 
reading  the  Cornell  programme  of  preparedness,  concluded  that  they  wanted 
peace,  because  if  the  whole  nation  was  prepared  as  well  in  proportion  as  Cornell 
was,  it  would  be  a  useless  effort  to  try  to  conquer  the  United  States. 

Ithaca  and  its  beautiful  scenery  had  been  advertised  as  a  fine  summer  resort 
and  the  Cornell  Sanitarium  and  the  Cornell  Inn,  both  on  Cayuga  Heights,  at- 
tracted many  summer  visitors  from  the  great  cities. 

The  City  of  Ithaca,  with  a  population  of  over  30,000  people,  had  expanded 
and  now  covered  all  the  territory  round  about  as  far  as  the  water's  edge  at  the 
north,  and  up  the  valley  at  the  south.  Forest  Home  was  a  large  and  beautiful 
suburb,  and  Enfield  Falls  Park  was  a  popular  outing  place  for  the  citizens. 

The  Ithaca  Automobile  Works,  near  the  head  of  the  lake,  was  considered 
among  the  largest  in  the  world. 

The  new  City  Hall  and  the  new  County  Court  House  were  in  evidence. 

The  Wharton  Moving-picture  Studio  at  Renwick  Park,  was  said  to  be  one 
of  the  largest  in  the  world.

early  telegraph  lines,  and  was  President  of  the  Western  Union  Telegraph  Com- 
pany from  1856  to  1866.  He  built  and  equipped  the  Sibley  College  of  Cornell 
University  and  endowed  the  Sibley  Professorship  of  Practical  Mechanics. 
Trustee,  1865-88.  Since  his  death  his  son,  Hiram  W.  Sibley,  has  become  a  bene- 
factor of  the  University  and  Trustee,  1887,  and  since  1889.  Hiram  Sibley  died

Henry  W.  Sage  was  born  January  31,  1814,  at  Middletown,  Conn.  His 
parents  were  poor  and  he  had  to  win  his  own  success  in  the  world.  He  removed 
in  1827  to  Ithaca,  N.  Y.,  where  he  later  engaged  in  business  with  his  uncles, 
Williams  Brothers,  who  were  merchants  and  large  shipping  agents.  In  1854 
he  purchased  a  large  tract  of  timber  land  around  Lake  Simcoe  in  Canada,  where 
he  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  lumber  on  a  large  scale.  He  afterwards  be- 
came a  partner  with  John  McGraw  in  the  same  business  in  the  State  of  Michi- 
gan. He  was  elected  a  member  of  the  New  York  Assembly  in  1847.  In  1857 
he  removed  to  Brooklyn,  where  he  became  an  influential  member  of  Henry 
Ward  Beecher's  church.  In  1870  he  was  elected  a  trustee  of  the  University 
and  in  1875  became  President  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  which  office  he  continued 
to  hold  until  his  death.  He  gave  Sage  Chapel,  and  Sage  College,  a  dormitory 
for  women,  with  its  endowment,  the  University  Library,  with  its  endowment, 
and  the  endowment  for  the  Sage  School  of  Philosophy.  He  also  gave  the  Archaeo- 
logical museum.  He  died  Sept.  18,  1897,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  His  eldest  son,  Dean 
Sage,  endowed  the  preaching  fund  at  Sage  Chapel,  and  gave  Stimson  Hall  for 
the  Medical  College  at  Ithaca.  His  sons,  Dean  Sage  and  William  H.  Sage, 
after  their  father's  death,  gave  his  former  mansion  as  a  University  Infirmary, 
and  a  sum  of  money  to  remodel  its  interior  to  adapt  it  for  its  new  purpose.  Will-

observatory. 

Among  the  benefactors  of  Cornell  in  more  recent  years  are  Andrew  Carnegie, 
who  made  one  of  the  most  gracious  and  appropriate  gifts  in  his  life,  when  he 
reimbursed  the  needy  students  who  had  spent  their  money  to  save  their  lives 
in  the  great  Fever  Epidemic  in  1903;  he  also  gave  a  water  filtration  plant, 
and  later  an  Annex  to  Morse  Hall  for  additional  chemical  laboratories.

Crittenden  Rand,  and  Jasper  Raymond  Rand,  jr.,  '97. 

OTHER  COLLEGES  AND  SCHOOLS 

THE  GRADUATE  SCHOOL 

When  Cornell  gets  a  great  Graduate  School  it  will  be  performing  in  the 
highest  degree  its  functions  as  a  University.  President  Schurman  has  asked 
that  some  rich  person,  or  some  group  of  wealthy  persons,  give  $20,000,000,  just 
to  start  a  Graduate  School  at  Cornell.  That  seems  a  large  sum  of  money.  How- 
ever, there  are  now  many  millionaires,  and  we  hope  that  President  Schurman's 
earnest  prayer  will  be  granted.  A  great  School  of  Research  at  Cornell  would, 
to  a  great  extent,  keep  American  students  from  going  abroad  to  finish  their 
education  in  special  subjects.

President  White  long  ago  formulated  plans  for  a  great  National  University 
at  Washington,  where  the  students  can  have  access  to  the  records  and  collections 
of  the  Government  Departments.  However,  Cornell  has  given  for  many  years 
an  example  of  what  such  an  institution  should  be  like.  The  post-graduates  of 
Cornell  have  become  some  of  the  greatest  teachers  in  the  land,  and  not  a  few 
of  them  are  at  the  head  of  universities  and  other  large  educational  institutions. 
There  are  now  about  350  post-graduate  students  at  Cornell.

MORRILL  HALL 

Erected  1866.  This  was  the  first  building  to  be  erected,  and  was  completed 
and  occupied  at  the  opening  of  the  University.  It  was  then  called  the  South 
Building,  but  it  was  afterwards  christened  Morrill  Hall  in  honor  of  U.  S.  Senator 
Justin  S.  Morrill  of  Vermont,  the  author  of  the  U.  S.  Land  Grant  Bill.  In  the 
early  days  this  building  was  a  very  busy  place. 

WHITE  HALL 

Erected  1868-9.  This  was  originally  the  North  Building,  and  the  name  was 
changed  in  honor  of  President  White. 

CASCADILLA  BUILDING 

Erected  about  1865.  Sometimes  called  Cascadilla  Place.  This  was  originally 
started,  but  not  completed,  for  a  water-cure,  with  "Willow  Pond"  to  the  east, 
where  College  Avenue  crosses  over  to  the  Campus.  It  was  finished  and  occupied 
at  the  opening  of  the  University.  It  was  occupied  by  the  University  for  dormi- 
tory purposes  and  was  crowded.  It  was  remodeled  in  1913. 

McGRAW  BUILDING 

Erected  1868-9.  This  was  the  gift  of  John  McGraw,  and  at  first  housed  the 
library  on  the  first  floor,  with  museum  above.  In  its  tower  were  placed,  at  first,

son  Dean  Sage,  gave  the  endowment  to  secure  the  preaching  by  ministers  of  all 
denominations.  The  original  building  was  partly  demolished  to  make  enlarge- 
ment. The  same  money  expended  on  a  new  building  would  have  built  a  greater 
and  grander  structure,  but  on  account  of  old  associations  the  old  form  was  re- 
tained. The  new  embellishments  were  the  work  of  Tiffany  and  are  very  beauti- 
ful and  costly.  Lyman  Abbot  at  the  new  dedication,  declared  it  to  be  the  second 
finest  chapel  in  America.  The  Sage  memorial  apse  at  the  eastern  end,  with  its 
allegorical  figures  in  Mosaic,  are  especially  fine.  Then  there  is  a  carved  pulpit 
of  one  solid  piece  of  Caen  stone.  There  are  many  beautif  ul  stained-glass  memorial 
windows.  There  are  here  found  many  memorial  tablets  to  Cornellians  and  bene- 
factors, trustees,  professors  and  friends  of  the  institution.  The  mausoleum, 
opening  from  the  main  chapel,  contains  reclining  statues  of  Ezra  Cornell,  the

GENERAL  OBSERVATIONS 

It  will  be  well  to  bear  in  mind  that  Cornell  is  still  a  comparatively  young 
university,  and  the  early  classes  were  small  in  numbers,  while  the  older  colleges, 
many  of  them,  then  had  two  or  three  tunes  as  many  students  as  Cornell. 

Furthermore,  they  had  long  lists  of  alumni,  running  back  from  one  hundred 
to  two  hundred  years  or  more. 


DISTINGUISHED    CORNELLIANS  xcv 

In  considering  the  alumni  of  any  college  we,  of  course,  include  all,  which 
gives  the  older  colleges  a  great  advantage  in  that  respect  over  Cornell.  Many 
of  our  most  promising  graduates  are  still  under  the  "Chloroform  Age"  (40)  of 
Dr.  Osier,  and  have  yet  many  years  to  develop  and  attain  still  higher  success. 
The  names  given  below  are  but  a  small  part  of  the  total  number.  The  next 
twenty  years  will  find  them  holding  many  more  of  the  highest  positions  in  the 
world. 

A  more  detailed  list  and  account  of  eminent  Cornellians  will  be  found  in 
"Alumni  By  Classes"  and  "Alumni  By  Positions  and  Occupations,"  later  on  in 
this  book. 

There  is  little  said  about  athletics,  because  after  leaving  college  few  students 
continue  their  training  and  athletic  work,  and  an  athletic  reputation  is  fleeting. 
To-day  one  man  is  victor  and  his  name  in  print;  to-morrow  he  is  forgotten  in 
the  victory  of  some  other  man. 


IN  POLITICS  AND  PUBLIC  OFFICE 

The  first  Cornellian  to  come  into  prominence  became  a  National  figure, 
Joseph  B.  Foraker,  of  Cornell's  first  graduating  class,  that  of  '69.  He  has  been 
for  many  years  the  greatest  Republican  political  leader  in  Ohio,  and  he  twice 
presented  the  name  of  Willian  McKinley  to  National  Conventions  for  the  Presi- 
dency. He  served  as  Governor  and  U.  S.  Senator.  He  has  recently  announced 
that  he  is  out  of  politics.  He  has  recently  published  a  book,  "Life  Notes," 
which  tells  about  his  political  victories  and  defeats. 

The  most  prominent  Cornellian  of  recent  years  in  politics  belongs  to  the 
other  of  the  two  great  leading  parties,  the  Democratic  party.  He  is  Edward 
M.  House,  '82,  the  most  intimate  personal  and  political  friend  of  President 
Woodrow  Wilson.  He  was  one  of  the  greatest  leaders  in  bringing  about  the 
nomination  and  election  of  President  Wilson,  and  it  is  said  that  he  picked  out 
three  members  of  the  President's  original  cabinet,  namely:  Bryan,  Burleson 
and  Daniels.  He  was  sent  to  the  warring  nations  of  Europe  in  the  fall  of  1915 
by  President  Wilson  as  a  special  diplomatic  agent  and  he  has  just  returned  from 
a  similar  mission,  supposedly  in  the  interest  of  bringing  about  peace.  He  could 
undoubtedly  have  been  in  the  cabinet  had  he  desired,  or  have  received  an  Am- 
bassadorship. He  is  called  President  Wilson's  human  barometer.  He  is  the 
man  who  "sizes  up"  men  and  senses  public  opinion  for  the  President. 

Mario  Garcia  Menocal,  '88,  is  President  of  the  Repubh'c  of  Cuba. 

Andrew  B.  Humphrey,  '75,  was  Secretary  of  the  National  League  of  Repub- 
lican Clubs,  away  back  in  President  McKinley's  time,  and  was  offered  a  high 
political  office  by  that  President. 

George  T.  Baker,  '79,  is  one  of  the  leading  public  men  of  the  State  of  Iowa, 
and  has  been  offered  the  nomination  for  several  high  political  offices  by  the 
Democratic  party.

Among  the  younger  men  is  Manton  M.  Wyvell,  '01.  At  the  time  when 
William  J.  Bryan,  the  Democratic  candidate  for  President,  spoke  at  a  mass 
meeting  at  DeWitt  Park,  in  Ithaca,  in  1900,  several  hostile  students  were  hetch- 
eling  Bryan  with  questions,  and  other  students  were  making  a  noisy  demon- 
stration against  the  speaker.  The  speaker  noticed  a  young  man  leading  the 
cheering  for  the  Democrats,  inquired  his  name,  asked  to  meet  him,  and  then 
invited  him  to  accompany  him  on  his  speaking  tour,  which  invitation  was 
accepted.  This  friendship  thus  formed  led  to  Mr.  WyvelTs  appointment  as 
Private  Secretary  to  William  J.  Bryan,  when  U.  S.  Secretary  of  State.  After 
serving  for  about  two  years  he  was  appointed  Counsel  to  the  International 
Boundary  Commission. 

Another  young  and  active  politician  is  William  L.  Ransom,  '05,  who  is  now 
a  City  Judge  in  New  York  City,  at  a  large  salary.  He  is  a  National  Progressive. 

Horace  White,  '87,  a  nephew  of  President  White,  became  prominent  in 
Republican  politics  in  Syracuse,  served  as  State  Senator  several  terms,  became 
Lieutenant  Governor  and  when  Governor  Charles  E.  Hughes,  formerly  Professor 
of  Law  at  Cornell,  resigned  to  become  a  Justice  of  the  U.  S.  Supreme  Court, 
Mr.  White  succeeded  him  as  Governor  of  New  York. 

John  A.  Dix,  '83,  received  a  number  of  votes  for  Governor  in  the  New  York 
Democratic  State  Convention  in  1906;  two  years  later  he  ran  for  Lieutenant 
Governor;  two  years  after  that  he  became  Chairman  of  the  Democratic  State 
Committee,  and  was  nominated  and  elected  Governor.

Every  class  from  the  beginning,  '69,  has  published  the  Cornellian. 

Every  class  since  1891,  except  1892,  1895  and  1896,  has  published  a  Class 
Book  in  its  senior  year.  However,  it  is  a  singular  fact  that  few  classes  have 
published  a  class  history  in  the  years  following  graduation,  notable  exceptions 
being  the  classes  of  73,  78,  and  '92. 

There  is  no  recorded  class  yell,  nor  class  colors,  until  the  class  of  '86.

of  the  time  as  a  Justice  of  the  General  Term.  He  presided  at  the  famous 
first  trial  of  Edward  S.  Stokes  for  the  murder  of  James  Fisk,  jr.,  and  sen-

nection with  her  bequest  of  nearly  all  her  property  to  Cornell  University. 
He  was  a  judge  of  solid  legal  attainments  and  his  decisions  gave  him  high 
legal  standing.  He  became  the  first  Dean  of  the  College  of  Law  at  Cornell, 
in  1887,  and  remained  in  that  position  during  the  rest  of  his  life.  He  was 
also  a  trustee  from  1875  until  1891,  where  he  was  greatly  respected  for  his 
good  judgment  and  wise  counsel.  He  was  President  of  the  First  National 
Bank  for  many  years.  After  his  death  his  widow,  Mrs.  Ellen  Boardman, 
and  his  widowed  daughter,  Mrs.  Ellen  Williams,  purchased  and  presented 
to  the  College  of  Law,  the  great  law  library  of  Nathaniel  C.  Moak,  of  Albany,

FINCH,  FRANCIS  MILES,  LL.D—  Trustee,  1865-75,  1877-82.  Born,  June 
9,  1827,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.  He  graduated  at  Yale  CoUege  in  1849,  where 
his  class  poem  attracted  considerable  attention.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  in  1850  and  practiced  his  profession  in  his  native  town.  He,  when  a 
a  young  lawyer,  attracted  attention  to  himself,  by  shrewdly  insisting,  as 
junior  counsel  for  the  defence,  in  the  trial  of  the  celebrated  Edward  Ruloff 
for  the  murder  of  his  wife,  that  in  order  to  convict  his  client  the  prosecution 
must  produce  her  body,  it  having  been  alleged  that  it  was  sunk  in  the  bottom 
of  Cayuga  Lake  in  a  box  filled  with  stones,  and  the  argument  saved  his 
client's  life.  His  practice  increased  rapidly  and  he  was  sought  after  by 
litigants  and  brother  members  of  the  bar  for  counsel,  and  there  were  few 
cases  of  great  importance  in  his  part  of  the  State  in  which  he  was  not  en- 
gaged, on  the  one  side  or  the  other.  He  was  Collector  of  Internal  Revenue 
for  four  years.  A  life-long  friend  of  Ezra  Cornell,  he  became  his  trusted 
counsellor,  and  during  the  trying  days  of  the  organization  and  early  days 
of  Cornell  University  his  legal  advice  and  judgment  were  always  consulted. 
He  was  a  trustee  from  1865  to  1875,  and  from  1877  to  1882.  With  his 
trenchant  pen,  in  both  prose  and  verse,  he  refuted  the  slanders  which  as- 
sailed the  beloved  founder,  his  friend,  and  when  Ezra  Cornell's  son,  Alonzo 
B.  Cornell,  became  Governor,  he  did  not  forget  the  faithful  attorney,  who 
was  otherwise  in  every  respect  qualified  for  the  position,  and  appointed  him 
in  May,  1880,  Associate  Judge  of  the  New  York  Court  of  Appeals,  to  fill 
a  vacancy,  for  six  months.  In  1881  he  was  re-appointed  to  fill  a  vacancy, 
for  one  year,  and  elected  in  the  fall  of  1881  for  a  full  term  of  fourteen  years, 
and  served  until  Dec.  31st,  1895.  He  became  Director  and  Dean  of  the 
Faculty  of  the  College  of  Law,  Cornell,  in  1896,  and  served  in  that  position 
until  his  death.  President  of  the  New  York  State  Bar  Association,  1899. 
Republican.  Judge  Finch's  manner  was  one  of  unassuming  modesty; 
he  was  eloquent,  yet  not  demonstrative;  forcible  and  logical — a  model  in 
forensic  disputations.  Upon  the  benchhe  never  indulged  in  captious  criti- 
cisms of  counsel  to  try  to  show  superior  legal  wisdom.  His  poems  treat 
largely  of  college  life,  his  "Smoking  Song"  being  a  great  favorite,  but  the 
one  which  brought  to  him  the  most  fame  was  "The  Blue  and  The  Grey." 
He  has  been  called  the  only  true  poet  of  Yale.  A  busy  professional  life 
took  him  from  literature  but  he  sometimes  managed  to  take  time  for  it. 
His  prose  writings  and  public  addresses  are  models  of  chaste  and  beautiful

thought,  and  even  in  his  written  judicial  opinions  when  on  the  bench  the 
literary  style  clung  to  him,  making  them  more  interesting  reading  than  is 
ordinarily  the  case.    LL.D.,  Hamilton,  1885,  Yale,  1892. 
Died,  July  30,  1907  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y. 

McGRAW,  JOHN.— Trustee,  1865-77.    Born,  May  22,  1815,  at  Dryden,  N.  Y. 
Engaged  in  the  lumber  trade  and  removed  to  New  Hudson,  1840,  to  New 
York  City,  1850,  and  to  Ithaca,  1861;    erected  the  McGraw  Building  of 
the  University,  1869-70. 
Died,  May  4,  1877,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y. 

SAGE,  HENRY  WILLIAMS.— Trustee,  1870-1897.  Born,  Jan.  31,  1814,  at 
Middletown,  Conn.  He  began  as  a  clerk  for  his  uncles,  Williams  Bros,  of 
Ithaca,  and  in  1837,  succeeded  to  their  business.  Member  of  the  New  York 
Assembly  in  1847.  He  was  a  resident  of  Brooklyn  from  1857  to  1877,  where 
he  was  a  trustee  of  Plymouth  Church,  and  a,friend  of  Henry  Ward  Beecher. 
He  became  one  of  the  largest  land-owners  in  the  State  of  Michigan.  In 
1854  he  extended  his  business  enterprises  and  built  a  lumber  manufactory 
on  Lake  Simcoe,  Canada,  and  a  few  years  later,  with  John  McGraw,  built 
another  at  Winona,  Michigan,  which  was  at  that  time  regarded  as  the 
largest  in  the  world.  He  also  became  the  owner  of  extensive  salt-works  in 
Michigan.  A  life-long  friend  of  Ezra  Cornell,  he  became  deeply  interested 
in  Cornell  University,  of  which  he  was  elected  a  trustee  in  1870,  which  office 
he  held  until  bis  death.  He,  desiring  to  afford  to  women  the  same  oppor- 
tunity for  a  liberal  education  as  men,  gave  Sage  College  to  Cornell,  about 
1873,  at  a  cost  of  over  $100,000,  and  endowed  it  with  $150,000  more.  He 
soon  afterwards  gave  Sage  Chapel,  which  another  member  of  his  family 
endowed  with  a  preacher's  fund,  and  where  ministers  of  all  demoninations 
are  invited  to  preach.  He,  during  the  pendency  of  the  Fiske  Will  Suit, 
offered  to  carry  out  the  wishes  of  the  testatrix,  Jennie  McGraw  Fiske,  by 
advancing  the  money  to  build  and  endow  a  University  Library  Building, 
the  money  to  be  considered  a  loan  in  case  the  University  was  successful, 
otherwise  to  be  a  gift.  The  suit  having  terminated  unsuccessfully  for  Cornell 
University,  at  its  dedication  he  gave  the  library  building,  together  with  an 
endowment  of  $300,000.  The  building  had  cost  $250,000  and  this  brought 
his  princely  gifts  up  to  and  exceeding  $1,000,000.  He,  as  chairman  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  had  great  responsibilities,  and  as  the  funds  amounted 
to  several  million  dollars,  consisting  largely  of  Western  lands,  his  business 
experience  and  sound  judgment  were  of  great  value  to  the  University. 
He  unselfishly  gave  a  large  part  of  his  time  from  his  vast  private  business 
to  the  interests  of  the  University,  and  it  can  never  repay  the  debt  of  grat- 
itude which  it  owes  to  his  memory.  Hia  name  will  be  forever  associated 
with  those  of  Ezra  Cornell,  Andrew  D.  White,  John  McGraw,  and  Hiram 
Sibley  as  the  founders  of  Cornell  University. 
Died,  Sept.  18,  1897,  at  Ithaca,  N.  Y.
